Justin Timberlake has publicly apologized after pleading guilty to a reduced charge of driving while ability impaired, following his June arrest for driving while intoxicated in Sag Harbor, New York. Timberlake was sentenced to 25 to 40 hours of community service, a $500 fine, and a 90-day suspension of his driving rights in New York State. During a press conference, Timberlake urged the public not to drink and drive, emphasizing that even one drink can impair one's ability to drive safely. He expressed regret for his actions, acknowledging that he did not live up to his own high standards and appreciated the opportunity to learn from his mistake. Timberlake's plea deal included a requirement to make a public safety announcement about the dangers of impaired driving. The singer hopes that others will learn from his experience and make safer choices.
