Back in June, Timberlake was arrested in Sag Harbor after officers found him behind the wheel of his car after he had been drinking at the time according to official reports.
“The most important fact to know about this case is that Justin was not intoxicated and should not have been arrested for DWI,” Edward Burke, attorney for Timberlake, said in a statement to the network. “The police made a number of very significant errors in this case.”
“Justin respects law enforcement and the very important job that they do. He cooperated with the police officers at all times and treated them with the respect they deserve. He also respects the entire judicial process including the District Attorney and Judge who were in court today,” Burke continued. “But the fact remains, he was not intoxicated and they made an error in arresting him for it. We are confident that this charge will be dismissed.”
