Justin Timberlake expected in New York court to plead guilty in drunken driving case

SUMMARY

Justin Timberlake is expected to plead guilty to a lesser charge of "driving while ability impaired" following his June arrest for drunken driving in Sag Harbor, New York. Timberlake was initially charged with a misdemeanor DWI but has reportedly agreed to a plea deal, which will reduce the charge to a traffic violation. The deal is expected to result in a fine of $300-$500 and a 90-day suspension of his driver's license. Timberlake's arrest occurred after he ran a stop sign and exhibited signs of intoxication, such as bloodshot eyes and unsteady movement. Timberlake, who refused a Breathalyzer test, has not publicly commented on the incident, though he alluded to personal challenges during a performance shortly after the arrest. The official plea is set to be entered in Sag Harbor Village Court.
