Justin Timberlake has submitted a not guilty plea to a revised misdemeanor charge in connection to his June arrest for driving while intoxicated in Sag Harbor, New York, CNN reports. The singer’s drivers license was also suspended in the state of New York by Sag Harbor Village Justice Carl Irace.
Timberlake attended the hearing virtually from Europe, where he’s currently on tour behind his latest album Everything I Thought It Was. During the hearing, Irace urged caution and threatened Timberlake’s counsel with a gag order, referring to comments made outside of court to the media by the singer’s lawyer, Edward Burke. Burke previously disagreed with the claim that Timberlake was intoxicated, disputing to reporters that the police made “very significant errors” and asserting that “he was not intoxicated.”
Timberlake was attempting to drive home from a party in June in the Hamptons when police noticed him miss a stop sign and swerve out of his lane, police told TMZ. He declined to take a breathalyzer and failed a field sobriety test: to stand on one leg and do a walk-and-turn. “I had one martini and I followed my friends home,” he told the officer, according to the police report. A further conference hearing in the case is scheduled for August 9, which Timberlake is not required to attend.
