Justin Timberlake’s driver’s license suspended after Sag Harbor DWI
Justin Timberlake’s driver’s license was suspended Friday during a hearing for his DWI case on Long Island.
Timberlake, 43, pleaded not guilty to a rev🦂ised DWI charge during the 9:30 a.m. hearing in🦂 Sag Harbor Village Justice Court.
Justice Carl Irace moved to suspend the pop singer’s license in New York because he refused to take a breathalyzer test when he was p♈ulled over near the American Hotel on June 18.
The former NSYNC heartthrob appeared virtually for the proceedings🐎 from Antwerp, Belgium, where he is stopping on his world tour.
Timberlake looked somber in a dark-colored shirt a𒈔s he observed the proceedings via video 🐻conference.
Irace reprimanded Timberlake’s attorney, Edward Burke Jr., for “irresponsible” comments he maౠde during a hearing last Friday.
Burke’s comments, the judge cautioned, “comes off as an attempt to poison the case before it even begins.”
The next conferenꦚce ♔in the case was set for Aug. 9, which Timberlake will not be required to attend.
He may need to appear at a hearing scheduled for Sept. 13, by which time he will be back in the US following the summer European leg of his “Forget Tomorrow” world tour.
Timberlake initially claimed that he had just “one martini” after he༺ blew through a stop after a night out with friends.
During a hearing last week, Burke insisted that his client was “not intoxicated” at theꦰ time of the incident.
The defense attorney moved to dismiss the charges against his famous client on the grounds that the initial charges documents had not been signed by a ﷺsuperior officer.
Irace, however, agreed to recognize the new, properly signed paperwor🧸k provided by the prosecution – and required that Timberlake aꦅppear virtually for the second arraignment.
“The DA is trying to fix something here — you’re goඣing to scratch your head and ask yourself why this wasn’t [resolved] immediately? There’s not a spot of ink that has the sergeant’s signature,” Burke told reporters after last week’s proceedings.
Burke removed the motion to d💎ismiss during Fridays’ hearing. His office declined to comment on the c🌱ase when reached by The Post after the hearing.
