Justin Timberlake has been arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.
The “Selfish” singer was apprehended by police in the Hamptons at 12:37 a.m. Tuesday, according to a press release from the Sag Harbor Village Police Department.
According to police, Timberlake was pulled over after failing to stop at a stop sign and “maintain his lane of travel.” “Upon investigation it was determined that Mr. Timberlake was operating his vehicle in an intoxicated position,” the release claims.
The singer was held overnight following his arrest and was released on his own recognizance following his Tuesday morning arraignment.
Justin Timberlake’s arrest comes amid his Forget Tomorrow tour
The 43-year-old’s arrest comes ahead of two concerts on The Forget Tomorrow World Tour in Chicago on Friday and Saturday.
The “Mirrors” singer, actor and former member of the boyband NSYNC announced the tour in January, his first in five years. The North American leg of the tour kicked off in April at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada, with stops including cities in the U.S., Canada, Europe and the U.K.
Timberlake’s return to the stage follows the release of his sixth album, “Everything I Thought It Was.”

“I worked for a long time on this album and I ended up with 100 songs,” he told Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1 in January. “So narrowing them down to 18 was a thing, and then, yeah, I’m really excited about this album. I think every artist probably says this, but it is my best work.”
He added: “There are moments that are incredibly honest, but also, there’s a lot of fun on this album. … Some of the songs are more introspective and some of them are more what I think people know me for.”
Timberlake also performed several free shows, including a stop in his hometown of Memphis, New York City and Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles show in March included a surprise performance of his song “Paradise,” which features his NSYNC bandmates.
Videos on social media showed Timberlake standing as the curtain behind him slowly revealed Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick and JC Chasez. The crowd instantly went wild, screaming louder than the group as they began singing.
The group performed “Paradise” and “Bye Bye Bye” together, bridging their new music with their classic hit. The night marked their first performance with all five band members since their reunion at the 2013 VMAs.
