US singer Justin Timberlake has been charged with drink-driving, authorities have said.
The 'SexyBack' singer had been in Long Island in New York state, reportedly having dinner with friends, before he left a restaurant and was pulled over by police who arrested him.
The 43-year-old was arraigned later on Tuesday in Sag Harbor, at the eastern end of Long Island, and then released, according to a statement from the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office.
His next court date is scheduled for July 26th.
Sag Harbor is a coastal village in the Hamptons, around 160km from New York City.
Timberlake is scheduled to appear in Chicago for two dates this week before two further shows at New York's Madison Square Garden next week.
Later dates on his The Forget Tomorrow World Tour include Boston, Baltimore and Cleveland.
The tour arrives in Europe later in the summer but has no Irish dates.
