Timberlake was leaving a hotel in June when he was stopped for running a stop sign and swerving into the oncoming lane.
The officer smelled booze on the pop star’s breath, and police noted he had bloodshot, glassy eyes, according to a police report. Timberlake also had slow speech, was unsteady on his feet and performed poorly on a field sobriety test, according to the criminal complaint.
