Drunk on the road
Automatically saved draft
Driving drunk in the Hamptons now has consequences for US singer Justin Timberlake: He is no longer allowed to drive in the US state of New York. This was decided by a judge on Friday. The singer was only connected via video.
He barely spoke or spoke slowly, as US media reported. And he pleaded not guilty. His lawyer Ed Burke also said once again that Timberlake was not drunk when he was arrested in June. He was confident that the charges would be dismissed. The police had made "serious mistakes" in the first place.
However, the judges in New York were not impressed. On the contrary: Burke should "be more careful with his statements". Judge Carl Irace admonished him and revoked Timberlake's driving license, but only for the US state of New York. It is currently unclear how long he will be banned from driving there.
Hearing to follow
According to the musician's lawyer, this is standard procedure. A further hearing is scheduled for August 9, and a preliminary court date for September 13. Timberlake, who is currently on tour in Europe and has two gigs in Antwerp, Belgium this weekend, does not have to be present in August.
As reported , the US American was arrested and charged with drunk driving in Sag Harbor in mid-June. According to a police report, he failed to stop at a stop sign. An officer reported that Timberlake smelled of alcohol and was unsteady on his feet. He was arrested and released after a night at the police station.
