Justin Timberlake failed field sobriety tests before being arrested for DUI: police

Justin TimberlakeJT’s lawyer may be convinced the singer wasn’t intoxicated during his DUI arrest… but new police documents paint a totally different picture of JT’s condition on June 18.

In the documents… the pop star verbally refused to submit to a breathalyzer test three times after being pulled over by a rookie cop. Michael Arkinson for running a stop sign in Sag Harbor.

According to Arkinson’s notes, he followed field procedure, as he observed several signs of JT’s suspected intoxication… including the smell of alcohol, glassy eyes, divided attention, and unsteady footing. Daily Mail He was the first to report the news.

It seems JT’s balance was the final straw for Arkinson, who noted that the singer had a hard time performing a series of field sobriety tests. For starters, during a walk-and-turn test, Justin was allegedly “very off-balance” and didn’t follow instructions properly.

The test itself required Justin to walk in a straight line while taking 9 steps… with his heel placed directly in front of the ball of his foot. Justin was then asked to turn and repeat the steps. According to the report, Justin took an incorrect turn during this test… as he “turned in the wrong direction” and “used his heel.”

Justin was also ordered to lift one foot off the ground for 30 seconds without moving… but he failed to maintain his balance… and put his foot down before the allotted time was up, the report said.

Between these results and his repeated refusal to submit to the breathalyzer test, Arkinson made the decision to arrest Justin, who was handcuffed and taken to the local police station.

Arkinson inventoried JT’s belongings during the arrest, which included a Rolex watch, a black vape pen, a gold ring and some cash in his wallet.

This account is strikingly different from the claim made by Justin’s lawyer… the lawyer previously stated that the singer… I was not intoxicated during the traffic stop and asked the court to dismiss the case due to paperwork errors.
