Video shows Justin Timberlake driving moments before drunken driving arrest

Fox News Digital has obtained video of Justin Timberlake driving on Main Street in Sag Harbor shortly before he was arrested for drunken driving.

New video of Justin Timberlake driving a car shortly before being arrested for allegedly driving drunk has surfaced, showing the pop star in his BMW SUV traveling down Main Street in Sag Harbor, New York. 

The video, captured by street-cam footage, was taken in the early hours of Tuesday morning. A black vehicle appears on the screen before the gray SUV with Florida plates comes into the frame that Timberlake was operating.

Authorities say Timberlake, 43, failed to stop at a stop sign and couldn't stay on the proper side of the road before being pulled over. Timberlake was described as having "bloodshot and glossy" eyes, a "strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath" and he was "unable to divide attention," according to police documents obtained by Fox News Digital. The former NSYNC member also exhibited "slowed speech" and was "unsteady afoot." He performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests.

Timberlake told the officer that pulled him over that he'd only consumed one martini and was following some friends home, per the documents. After being arrested and taken to a police station in nearby East Hampton, he refused a breath test, according to court papers, which listed his occupation as "professional" and said he’s "self-employed."

According to Page Six, the officer that pulled Timberlake over "was so young that he didn’t even know" who Timberlake was. The insider said that the officer "didn’t recognize [Timberlake] or his name. An additional source said that under his breath, Timberlake uttered, "This is going to the ruin the tour." The cop asked "What tour?" to which Timberlake replied, "The world tour."

The 10-time Grammy Award winner is currently on "The Forget Tomorrow World Tour." He's scheduled to perform in Chicago on June 21.

Timberlake was arraigned Tuesday morning in Sag Harbor Village Justice Court without bond. "At this time, we have no further comment," a spokesperson for the DA's office told Fox News Digital.

Timberlake was charged with one count of driving while intoxicated along with citations for failure to keep right and failure to stop at a stop sign, the district attorney's office confirmed to Fox News. He is expected to appear virtually for his first court hearing in the matter on July 26.

Sag Harbor is a small village in the Hamptons with a population of under 3,000. It's roughly 100 miles from Manhattan.

A spokesperson for Timberlake's lawyer, Ed Burke, told Fox News Digital: "No comment from Mr. Burke at this time."

Following Timberlake's arrest on Tuesday, WNYW Fox 5 spoke with fellow musician Billy Joel, who was leaving The American Hotel, the same restaurant that Timberlake had dined at the night before.

When asked to comment on Timberlake, Joel stated, "Judge not lest ye be judged." Joel famously crashed his Mercedes into a tree in the Hamptons in 2003 and was briefly hospitalized. 

Meanwhile, in New York City, Timberlake's wife and actress Jessica Biel put on a brave face following her husband's arrest. She was seen on the set of her upcoming TV series, "The Better Sister."
