Cop Drops 2-Word Bomb on Justin Timberlake After He Refuses Breathalyzer – ‘This Is Going to Ruin the Tour’

The New York police officer who arrested Grammy Award-winning singer Justin Timberlake early Tuesday morning had no clue who the 43-year-old was, according to a report.

The officer was so unaware of Timberlake’s status that when he arrested the pop star for alleged drunken driving, Timberlake complained the arrest would hamper his coming tour.

The officer’s response, according to sources close to the arrest who spoke to the New York Post’s Page Six, was, “What tour?”

The former NSYNC singer was pulled over just after midnight on Long Island after drinking with friends at a hotel in Sag Harbor, according to the outlet.

When Timberlake left the hotel, officers pursued him and pulled him over for a traffic violation.

Once an officer determined he believed the singer and actor might be intoxicated, Timberlake agreed to a field sobriety test but declined a Breathalyzer test.

According to Page Six, when Timberlake was placed in handcuffs, he complained about what the arrest could mean for his career.

A person close to the star told the outlet, “Justin said under his breath, ‘This is going to ruin the tour.’ The cop replied, ‘What tour?’ Justin said, ‘The world tour.’”

The pop star’s world tour begins Friday in Chicago and ends in mid-December.

A second source told Page Six that the arresting officer “was so young that he didn’t even know” about Timberlake’s status in the music industry.

“He didn’t recognize him or his name,” the person said.

Timberlake was charged with DWI as well as cited for two alleged traffic infractions.

According to Page Six’s sources, as Timberlake was taken into custody, his friends begged the officer to release him.

A video released by Sag Harbor police showed the moments leading up to Timberlake’s arrest.

The department also shared his mugshot.

Timberlake had not commented publicly on the arrest as of early Wednesday.

An attorney for the pop star also declined to comment on the case against his client.

As Newsweek noted, Tuesday was not the first time alcohol was blamed for landing Timberlake in hot water.

In 2019, he was photographed holding hands with actress Alisha Wainwright while the two worked on the film “Palmer” in New Orleans.

In a public apology to his wife, Hollywood actress Jessica Biel, Timberlake wrote, “A few weeks ago, I displayed a strong lapse in judgment — but let me be clear — nothing happened between me and my co-star. I drank way too much that night, and I regret my behavior.”

As Page Six also noted, Timberlake was quoted as far back as 2006 as saying, “I’m just like everyone else — I get completely plastered, I’ve done my fair share of drugs and I’ve been caught places with my pants down. It’s just I make sure there are no cameras around.”

In 2014, he told Oprah Winfrey that he once drank an entire bottle of whiskey by himself.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor
