Justin Timberlake pleaded guilty on September 13, 2024, in Sag Harbor Village Court to driving while ability impaired (DWAI), a reduced, noncriminal traffic violation. He had initially been charged with misdemeanor driving while intoxicated (DWI); he did not plead guilty to that original charge. Reports said the sentence included a fine, community service, a 90-day license suspension and a public safety announcement.
What charge did Timberlake plead guilty to?
The case began with Timberlake’s June 18, 2024 arrest in Sag Harbor, New York. He was initially charged with misdemeanor DWI and first pleaded not guilty. On September 13, he entered a guilty plea to the reduced charge of driving while ability impaired (DWAI), reported as a noncriminal traffic violation. The final plea was to DWAI, not to the original misdemeanor DWI. [c001] [c002]
What sentence was reported?
Reports of the court’s terms said Timberlake received a $500 fine and a $260 surcharge, was required to complete 25 hours of community service at a nonprofit of his choosing, and had his driver’s license suspended for 90 days. He was also required to make a public safety announcement. The available reports do not establish whether or when he completed the service or announcement. [c003]
What did police say about the arrest?
Police filings reportedly described Timberlake as having bloodshot, glassy eyes, an odor of alcohol, slowed speech and unsteadiness, and said he performed poorly on field sobriety tests. These are details attributed to the filings; they should not be read as independent findings by the court in the reported plea disposition. [c005]

What did Timberlake say after the plea?
After entering the plea, Timberlake said, “Even if you’ve had one drink, don’t get behind the wheel of a car.” He also called the incident “a mistake that I made,” according to the Associated Press. [c004]
What happened with the body-camera footage?
Later reporting covered a separate dispute over police body-camera footage and public-records requests. Sag Harbor officials said the Village sought to comply with New York’s Freedom of Information Law and that the footage was reviewed and redacted over safety and privacy concerns. That records issue is distinct from the 2024 plea and sentence. [c006]
