Justin Timberlake made a surprise stop on his tour, and it is one he never wanted to make.
The singer was hanging out with friends at a hotel in Sag Harbor, NY, and was having some adult fun with them. Shortly after midnight, he left the hotel and was pulled over by some cops after blowing through a stop sign and not being able to drive in a straight line, according to TMZ.
The police report says the cops noticed, “His eyes were bloodshot and glassy, a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath, he was unable to divide attention, he had slowed speech, he was unsteady afoot, and he performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests.” It also says he claimed that he only had one martini.
His friends tried to get the cops to give him a break, but Page Six reports that the police officers were too young to know who he was.
The officers did not oblige their request and took him back to the station, where he was charged with DUI. After spending the night in jail, he was arraigned and free to go. However, he will need to return to NY on July 26th for his court day. He will not be able to drive himself there because his out-of-state license is suspended in New York.
Timberlake was expected to begin his European tour in Poland on the 26th, but I think that date will be postponed.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he asks *NSYNC to join him on the tour because he is going to need something positive to counter this, failing sales of his tour and album, and let’s not forget Britney Spears’ books. He is no longer as popular as he was when he exposed Janet Jackson’s boob at the Super Bowl.
