New video footage shows Justin Timberlake appearing unsteady during field sobriety tests following his arrest for driving under the influence in New York in June 2024.
The singer, age 45, was given a plea deal to resolve his arrest in the Hamptons, which happened while he was on tour. Following a traffic stop by Sag Harbor police, he was seen taking several tests.
At the start of the video, the singer of “Cry Me A River” was standing near his car and talking to a police officer.
He was being told how to perform a sobriety test that checks for involuntary jerking of the eyes, called the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test.
Okay, so here’s what happened with Justin Timberlake’s recent situation. During the field sobriety test, the bodycam footage showed him looking a little unsteady on his feet when speaking with the officer. That’s when the officer asked him to perform the walk-and-turn test – you know, the one where you have to follow a line. He really didn’t want that footage to become public, but unfortunately, it did surface. It’s a reminder that even celebrities are subject to the same laws as everyone else, and sometimes these things happen.
While the officer was suggesting Justin Timberlake could use tire marks as a guide, Timberlake jokingly asked, ‘Which one do you prefer?’
Honestly, when the officer said that – ‘It’s going to be the one of your preference, okay?’ – I almost melted. And then he just… added ‘Whatever you want, man!’ Like he knew what I wanted, what I needed. It was incredible. He was basically saying he’d do anything for me, and it was the most amazing thing ever. I swear, he gets me.
An officer momentarily left his post while another remained near Justin Timberlake, who was touring at the time with his Forget Tomorrow World Tour.
Oh my gosh, you guys, it was AMAZING! He actually said it – Meek Mill, the Carry Out Meek Mill, leaned over and was like, ‘How you doing man?’ And the officer – can you believe it?! – was so cool and just replied, ‘I’m doing good, how are you?’ I’m still freaking out just thinking about it!
Timberlake said, ‘Good,’ followed by a small smile as he glanced down towards the ground.
The officer came back and told Timberlake to put his left foot on an imaginary line, then step forward with his right foot.
‘Heel to toe,’ the police officer continued.
The singer attempted to comply, but tripped and the officer started giving the instructions again.
Timberlake abruptly interrupted the officer, raising his hands and explaining, ‘I’m just going home with my friends.’
He continued to explain calmly that he wasn’t doing anything, just walking home with his friends.
The officer then asked, ‘Well, will you do this test?’ and the singer replied, ‘Sure.’
Timberlake requested an explanation of the walk-and-turn test, admitting, ‘I’ve never done this before, so I’m just…’
He was instructed to stand with his arms at his sides, walk nine steps in a straight line, turn around, and then walk nine steps back the same way.
The star started to do so before the officer told him to begin and then quickly apologized.
The second officer explained that someone would let you know when to start. He reassured you that everything was okay and they just needed you to be ready in the right place.
When he was told to begin, Timberlake took one step and then stumbled to the right.
‘I’m sorry, I’m a little nervous,’ the singer told both officers, before completing the test.
Timberlake was then instructed to do the one leg test.
After explaining the instructions, the first officer checked for understanding, asking, “Does that make sense? Should I go over it again?”
Following a brief moment, the singer replied, ‘Um, tell me one more time. I’m sorry.’
The officer reassured them, saying they just wanted to be sure everyone understood everything completely.
The first officer started going over the instructions again, and Timberlake admitted, ‘I’m really nervous,’ while touching his chest.
As the test began, the second officer stepped away when a woman arrived and said she was a friend of the singer.
