Justin Timberlake to Plead Guilty to Lesser Charge in DWI Case

The pop star will admit to a traffic violation and pay a fine, avoiding more severe drunk driving charges.

  • Timberlake was arrested in June in Sag Harbor, New York, for allegedly driving while intoxicated.
  • He initially pleaded not guilty but reached a plea deal to admit to a lesser offense of driving while ability impaired.
  • The plea agreement includes a fine between $300 and $500 and a 90-day license suspension.
  • Timberlake refused a breathalyzer test at the time of arrest, leading to an automatic one-year license suspension in New York.
  • The singer's attorney has maintained that Timberlake was not intoxicated, and the case has been a significant distraction during his world tour.
