Justin Timberlake has been arrested for allegedly driving while intoxicated in the Hamptons, several news outlets have reported.
The singer, 43, was arrested in Sag Harbor, according to Newsday and ABC’s Good Morning America. A representative for the Sag Harbor Police Department told People that the singer is in police custody, with an arraignment scheduled for later Tuesday, Newsday reported.
A representative for Timberlake did not immediately respond to a request for comment from People.
Timberlake is in the middle of his tour for his “Forget Tomorrow” tour, which features hits from his career, as well as from his new album, “Everything I Thought It Was.”
Unfortunately for Timberlake, “Everything I Thought It Was,” his sixth solo album, has been met with an usual amount of critical dismissal as well as weaker than usual sales, becoming his first solo release to miss No. 1 since “Justified” in 2002 the New York Times reported in March.
Once one of the most prominent male stars in American pop music, he has “become something of a musical afterthought in recent years,” the Times also said.
Some of Timberlake’s declining popularity has to do with his musical choices, but also to a larger social-cultural backlash in the wake of public re-evaluations of his relationship with Britney Spears, and how he navigated the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show incident that sent Janet Jackson into exile and largely left him unscathed, the Times also said.
