Justin Timberlake pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor drunk driving charge during a virtual arraignment in New York, following his arrest on June 18 for allegedly running a stop sign and swerving while driving his BMW. Timberlake's attorney, Edward Burke, has consistently argued that the singer was not intoxicated, claiming significant errors in the police procedures and stating that Timberlake only had one martini. Moreover, Burke has raised concerns that officers allowed a friend, who appeared to be drinking, to drive Timberlake's car home after the arrest. The court has suspended Timberlake's driving privileges in New York, with a follow-up hearing scheduled for August 9. Amidst his legal troubles, Timberlake is currently on tour in Europe and was unable to attend the recent hearing in person. The case continues to unfold as both sides prepare for future legal proceedings.
