Justin Timberlake was arrested on June 18 and is said to have panicked throughout his one night there. Unaware of the singer’s identity, a young police official detained him and demanded that he take a breathalyser test, which the pop star declined.
Timberlake was pulled over on accusations of ignoring a stop sign and veering out of his lane. He also had hazy and red eyes and later failed a sobriety test. The 43-year-old later admitted to having one martini before deciding to get behind the wheel.
According to sources, it has “taken a toll on him, but he is trying to view it as a way to reset himself.” The insider also added that Timberlake is “feeling remorseful, ashamed, and humiliated, taking the situation seriously and acknowledging its potential impact on his family dynamic as a husband and father, as well as on his fans.”
