Justin Timberlake pleads guilty to lower offense in Hamptons DWI case

Justin Timberlake pleaded guilty to a traffic violation Friday, concluding his DWI case from June.

A judge ordered the pop star, 43, to pay a fine, perform community service and appear in a public service announcement on the dangers of drunk driving, according to ABC News.

The “Selfish” singer, 43, was photographed arriving at Sag Harbor Court in the Hamptons for his hearing.

He was dressed casually in a black shirt, matching sweater, brown slacks, pearl necklace and sunglasses.

The Grammy winner, who was accompanied by two men in suits, appeared calm and collected.

Earlier this week, Timberlake reportedly scored a plea deal that lowered his initial driving while intoxicating charge to an offense that is considered less serious.

The exact traffic violation he owned up to is driving while ability impaired (DWAI). Per legal experts, the main difference between a DWAI and DWI is the level of intoxication.

Timberlake’s attorney has argued for months that his famous client was not drunk when he was pulled over by police on June 18 after running a stop sign and allegedly swerving lanes.

Edward Burke Jr. told Page Six in July, “The most important fact to know about this case is that Justin was not intoxicated and should not have been arrested for DWI.”

He also claimed at the time, “The police made a number of very significant errors in this case.”

Burke’s stance was further backed by a bartender who was working when Timberlake stopped by the American Hotel for a drink just before getting arrested.

The unnamed employee claimed in June that the “Mirrors” singer had only “one martini,” adding to People at the time, “If he was drinking more, it wasn’t here.”

However, Timberlake’s mugshot — which showed him with bloodshot and glassy eyes — appeared to show he may have been under the influence of a substance while driving. He also refused a breathalyzer test.

Sources also exclusively told Page Six earlier this summer that the “Can’t Stop the Feeling” crooner has allegedly had a “drinking problem” for years.

“It’s not a secret. Everyone knows,” a music insider previously claimed. “He has a real drinking problem, a lot of weed — but a major alcohol problem, and he’s been hiding and masking it for years.”

However, a source close to Timberlake insisted to Page Six at the time that the “SexyBack” singer “has never been better.”

Timberlake has not yet issued a statement on his latest court ruling. We reached out to his reps for comment but did not immediately hear back.

According to New York law, a person convicted for a DWAI for the first time — such as Timberlake — faces a minor fine of $500 to $1000. He also could have gone to up to one year in jail.

The *NSYNC member’s license was also temporarily revoked in August, and it can remain suspended for up to six months. It’s unclear if the judge will uphold the suspension for the full term.
