Wed Sep 11 21:40:55 UTC 2024: ## Justin Timberlake to Plead Guilty in Hamptons DUI Case

**SAG HARBOR, NY -** Pop star Justin Timberlake is expected to plead guilty to a lesser charge in his drunk driving case in the Hamptons, according to prosecutors. The singer will appear in court on Friday to enter the plea.

Timberlake was arrested in June after he was pulled over for running a stop sign and exhibiting signs of intoxication. He initially pleaded not guilty to the charge, but his lawyer has confirmed he will now plead guilty to a lesser offense.

The details of the plea agreement have not been released, but sources familiar with the case say Timberlake will avoid the original DUI charge.

The singer was arrested after leaving a Sag Harbor hotel and was found to have bloodshot eyes, a strong odor of alcohol, and performed poorly on sobriety tests. He told police he had only had one martini and was following friends home.

Timberlake’s attorney, Edward Burke, has previously maintained that his client was not drunk and that the case should be dropped.

The 43-year-old singer has been in the spotlight since his days as a Mouseketeer and member of the boy band NSYNC. He has gone on to become a successful solo artist and actor, winning 10 Grammy Awards.

This case marks a setback for the singer, who has maintained a clean public image throughout his career.
