Singer Justin Timberlake was arrested early Tuesday and is accused of driving while intoxicated on Long Island, New York, authorities said. Timberlake is scheduled to be arraigned in Sag Harbor, on the eastern end of Long Island, according to a statement from the Suffolk County district attorney’s office. Timberlake’s representatives did not immediately return requests for comment from The Associated Press. Sag Harbor is a coastal village in the Hamptons, around 100 miles (160 kilometers) from New York City. In the summer, it is a hotspot for wealthy visitors. Timberlake, who rose to fame in the popular boy band NSYNC, had a successful solo career and is known for his acting roles in movies like “The Social Network” and “Friends With Benefits.” He has won ten Grammy awards and four Primetime Emmy Awards. Timberlake was in the headlines last year when he published a memoir that included deeply personal details about a pregnancy, abortion, and painful breakup. In March, he released his first new album in six years, the nostalgic “Everything I Thought It Was,” a return to his familiar future funk sound. Timberlake has two upcoming shows in Chicago on Friday and Saturday, then is scheduled for New York’s Madison Square Garden next week on Tuesday and Wednesday.
