\n\tFootage of Justin Timberlake\u2019s 2024 DWI<\/a> arrest has been released after the singer sued Sag Harbor Village earlier this month to prevent it from seeing the light of day.<\/p>\n

\n\tA judge gave the go-ahead for the bodycam footage to be made public earlier today, noting that a settlement had been reached between attorneys for Timberlake and the Sag Harbor Village Police Department in Long Island. Timberlake had previously been granted a temporary block for release of the footage, but in today\u2019s court documents, Timberlake agreed that the footage \u201cdid not constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAs such, the bodycam footage from the 2024 arrest was released via Sag Harbor Express<\/a> on Friday evening, showing police officers pulling him over after they witnessed him veering across lanes. \u201cI\u2019m on a world tour,\u201d he says when an officer asks what he\u2019s doing. \u201cHard to explain. A world tour. I\u2019m Justin Timberlake<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSubsequent footage shows cops instructing Timberlake to complete a series of sobriety tests. In the full video, Timberlake admits he\u2019s \u201ca little nervous\u201d and that \u201cmy heart is racing\u201d as he heeds the officers\u2019 directives to walk in a straight line, seemingly struggling to do so.<\/p>\n

\n\tTimberlake\u2019s attorney did not immediately respond to Variety\u2018s request for comment.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn early March, Timberlake filed suit against Sag Harbor Village Police Department, Chief of Police Robert Drake and the Village of Sag Harbor to prevent the release of the footage, claiming that it would cause \u201csevere and irreparable harm\u201d to his reputation and \u201csubject [him] to public ridicule and harassment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTimberlake was initially arrested in June 2024 after police stopped him for weaving out of his lane and failing to obey a stop sign. The arresting officer reported that his eyes were \u201cbloodshot\u201d and \u201cglassy,\u201d and that he performed poorly on a field sobriety test. Timberlake claimed that he had one martini and refused to take a Breathalyzer test.<\/p>\n

\n\tThree months later, he pleaded guilty to a reduced charge and was ordered to pay a $500 fine and perform 25 to 40 hours of community service. He was initially charged with a misdemeanor count of driving while intoxicated, and pleaded guilty to \u201cdriving while ability impaired.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Footage of Justin Timberlake\u2019s 2024 DWI arrest has been released after the singer sued Sag Harbor Village earlier…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":536112,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,88,11851],"class_list":{"0":"post-536111","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-justin-timberlake"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/536111","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=536111"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/536111\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/536112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=536111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=536111"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=536111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
