Justin Timberlake’s arrest last week for driving while intoxicated followed an anonymous tip from within the hotel where he was staying, new reports say.
The “Cry Me A River” singer was arrested on Tuesday (17 June) at 12:17am in the wealthy Hamptons enclave of Sag Harbor, Long Island. He was staying at the American Hotel in the area, renowned as a popular destination for celebrities in the summer months.
The 10-time Grammy winner, 43, claimed to have consumed just “one martini”, according to a complaint obtained by The New York Post. He broke his silence at a concert last week after his arrest made worldwide news, saying it had been a “tough week”.
But now new reports suggest that the arrest may not have been completely random or routine, and that Timberlake’s police stop may have been the result of an anonymous tip-off to the authorities from someone close to him around the time he was allegedly drinking.
“[They] said Justin was having a lot of drinks, and they told the cop to watch him if he is going to drive,” a Southampton restaurateur, who did not want to be identified, told The New York Post.
He did not specify as to how the alleged caller was linked to Timberlake.
