The arrest took place after Timberlake was stopped at 12:17 a.m. while driving a gray BMW with Florida plates. Initially pulled over for driving through a stop sign and failing to stay on the right side of the road, Timberlake’s condition led officers to believe he was unfit to drive, as described in the complaint by Sag Harbor Village police officer Michael Arkinson.
According to Arkinson’s account, Timberlake exhibited signs of intoxication such as bloodshot and glassy eyes, a strong smell of alcohol on his breath, inability to focus, slowed speech, unsteady balance, and poor performance on field sobriety tests.
