According to 'Page Six' sources, Timberlake was being driven back to his hotel following dinner with friends at the American Hotel when he was arrested.

He demonstrated signs such as bloodshot eyes, a strong alcohol smell, and slow speech, and he refused to take a breathalyzer test and performed poorly on sobriety tests. During the arrest, witnesses claimed that Timberlake's friends begged the police to release him, but the young officer was unaware that Timberlake is a well-known artist.
Timberlake was accused of two traffic violations and driving while inebriated. Before going on tour, insiders said the singer had stopped drinking, but some others assert he has a history of alcohol problems. Timberlake admitted his excessive drinking and drug use nearly two decades ago. Justin Timberlake disclosed that he had used drugs earlier, been into a lot of intoxicated situations, and experienced embarrassing moments.
This occurred before he got married to Jessica Biel. Together, they are the parents of three-year-old Phineas and nine-year-old Silas. According to reports, Biel, 42, is "extremely upset" over her husband's actions.
