The “Mirrors” singer was reportedly in possession of a vape pen, a pricey Rolex, a gold ring and a wallet that contained $306 in cash during his arrest, per the Daily Mail .
The musician failed a series of field sobriety tests after exhibiting numerous signs of intoxication — such as poor balance and inability to follow instructions, according to the police report.
Although sources told TMZ the couple tried — and failed — to get Timberlake out of the situation, cops ultimately allowed the woman to drive his rental car back to her home, where he was staying.
However, the woman was allegedly drinking alongside the “Friends with Benefits” actor all night — a point Timberlake’s legal team reportedly plans to bring up in court.
Timberlake’s lawyer, Edward Burke Jr., reportedly claims that the cops’ inability to realize the woman had been drinking proves they couldn’t have properly evaluated the singer.
Despite his plea, the judge presiding over the case still suspended the singer’s license in New York state and slammed Burke for his “irresponsible” comments.
Justice Carl Irace reportedly told the New York-based lawyer that his remarks came off “as an attempt to poison the case before it even begins.”
Irace also threatened Burke with a gag order, which would prohibit him from speaking to the press, and encouraged him to “raise the bar, not lower it,” per NBC News.
