Justin Timberlake’s Attorney Says He “Was Not Intoxicated” During DWI Arrest

Justin Timberlake’s attorney appeared in a New York courtroom on his behalf Friday. In a brief court hearing, Timberlake’s attorney said that he was not drunk when a Long Island cop pulled him over and charged him with DWI.

Timberlake, who is on tour in Europe, did not appear for the hearing. Attorney Edward Burke told reporters that authorities made “a number of very significant errors” in connection with the case. “Sometimes the police, just like every one of us, make mistakes, and that is the case in this very incident…

“I will say that Justin respects law enforcement. I will say that he recognizes the very important job that they do, and he cooperated with police officers from the second he was ordered out of his car to the second he was discharged.”

Timberlake was cuffed after driving erratically when leaving a hotel bar this summer. He declined to take a Breathalyzer test but insisted he had only one drink before getting behind the wheel.
