In one moment, he appeared confused by the process and told police, “These are, like, hard tests.” The footage also shows an officer shining a flashlight in his face to observe his eyes and telling him to look straight ahead. When officers asked Timberlake to walk a straight line, he stumbled several times. He then stopped and said, “My heart’s racing.” The video presents him as polite throughout the exchange, even as officers continued the test and moved toward an arrest.The footage also shows the reaction of a female friend who arrived at the scene while officers were taking Timberlake into custody. She asked, “You’re arresting Justin Timberlake right now?!" and offered to drive his car herself. When she asked if she could hand him his phone, officers said that was against the rules.She then made a direct appeal, telling them, “Can you guys please just do me a favor ’cause you loved ‘Bye Bye Bye’ or 'SexyBack'? "Do me one favor!” Officers later allowed her to briefly speak with Timberlake, who was sitting in the back of the police car. At that point, he asked why he was being arrested.The release of the footage followed a legal dispute. Earlier this month, Timberlake sought to block its release, calling it “an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.” Sag Harbor Police later said both sides reached an agreement to release a partially redacted version of the video. Timberlake was arrested on suspicion of DWI in June 2024, a case that led to his viral mugshot and widespread online reaction. He later pleaded guilty to a lesser traffic violation, avoiding a drunk driving charge and any criminal offense.DISCLAIMER: If you or someone you know is struggling with alcohol or substance abuse,
