Justin Timberlake walks to golf lessons in NYC after Hamptons DWI arrest

Published: Jun 28 2024

Justin Timberlake embarked on another "drive," but this time, it wasn't behind the wheel of a car. Exclusively captured by Page Six's lens, the 43-year-old music icon was spotted striding towards golf lessons in the heart of New York City on a break from his ongoing Forget Tomorrow World Tour. Timberlake, having just delivered back-to-back concerts at Madison Square Garden, where his devoted wife, Jessica Biel, cheered him on from the audience, was set to head to Boston next. However, he chose to squeeze in a little time to hone his golf skills.

Captured alongside a golf caddie, Timberlake traversed the bustling streets of the Big Apple, dressed casually in a blue cap, a vintage Grateful Dead tour merchandise T-shirt, vibrant blue basketball shorts, sunglasses, and sneakers. It was revealed that, mindful of his recent arrest for DWI in the Hamptons, Timberlake opted to walk the six blocks from his apartment to the golfing facility in lower Manhattan, refraining from driving himself to the destination.

According to New York law, a person booked for driving while intoxicated may face a license suspension ranging from six months to a year. Just a week ago, on June 18, Timberlake was charged with one count of DWI and two other traffic violations, including failing to stop at a stop sign and not staying in the proper lane. His attorney, Edward Burke Jr., had previously expressed his intention to "vigorously defend" his high-profile client and promised to "speak at length at the appropriate time."

Timberlake's next court date is scheduled for July 26, though he is not required to be present for the procedural hearing. Meanwhile, the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office is conducting a thorough investigation into the incident. Details have emerged about the arrest, including Timberlake's alleged "bloodshot" eyes, his claim of having consumed just "one martini," and his refusal to undergo a breathalyzer test. It was also revealed that a rookie officer, unaware of Timberlake's celebrity status, initially issued him a warning before pulling him over minutes later.

In the midst of all this, Timberlake seems to be abiding by the rules as he awaits his sentencing. Last week, he was chauffeured back to New York City from the Hamptons, ensuring he adhered to the law and avoided any further complications.
