Justin Timberlake in plea deal

Justin Timberlake is set to appear in Sag Harbor Village Court on Friday to plead guilty to a lesser charge in his drunken driving case, following his arrest on June 18. Initially charged with driving while intoxicated after allegedly running a stop sign, police reported that Timberlake displayed signs of intoxication, such as bloodshot eyes and slurred speech. His attorney, Edward Burke, has maintained that Timberlake was not drunk and has criticized law enforcement for alleged procedural errors during the arrest. Timberlake's refusal to take a breathalyzer test led to the suspension of his driver's license. The specific terms of the plea deal have not been disclosed, but it is expected to involve a traffic violation instead of a misdemeanor DUI. Timberlake, a ten-time Grammy winner, has had a successful career as a singer and actor, rising to fame with NSYNC and later as a solo artist.
