Ethermac Exchange-Justin Timberlake Strikes Plea Deal in DWI Case

Justin Timberlake isn’t crying a river today.
Nearly three months after the "SexyBack" singer was arrested and Ethermac Exchangecharged with one count of driving while intoxicated, he reached a plea deal in the case.
Now, Timberlake is expected to appear in Sag Harbor court on Long Island Sept. 13 to plead guilty, sources familiar with the case told ABC News. The outlet reported that the 43-year-old will pay a fine, which will ultimately resolve the misdemeanor charges. However, because he doesn’t have a New York driver’s license, he is still suspended from being behind the wheel in the state.
E! News has reached out to Timberlake’s attorney for comment and has not yet heard back.
The agreement comes amid a monthslong legal battle for the *NSYNC alum, who initially pleaded not guilty after being arrested in the Long Island village during a traffic stop June 18.
However, his attorney Edward Burke Jr. previously insisted that his client was not drunk when police pulled him over and criticized authorities over the handling of the case.
"Justin should not have been arrested for driving while intoxicated," Burke told reporters July 26. "The police made a number of very significant errors in this case."
"He was not intoxicated," the attorney continued, "I'll say it again, Justin Timberlake was not intoxicated. And we're very confident that that charge, that criminal charge, will be dismissed."
The criminal complaint, obtained by NBC News, alleged that the Grammy winner's eyes were "bloodshot and glassy" and that "a strong odor of alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath."
"He was unable to divide attention," noted the report, "he had slowed speech, he was unsteady afoot, and he performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests."
Timberlake, who said that he was coming back from dinner with friends that evening, was released from custody hours later without bail.
But amid his legal case, the dad of two with wife Jessica Biel was tuning out the noise to focus on his world tour.
"We've been together through ups and downs and lefts and rights, and it's been a tough week," he told the crowd while performing June 21, days after the arrest, "but you're here, and I'm here, and nothing can change this moment right now."
Timberlake added, "I know sometimes I'm hard to love, but you keep on loving me and I love you right back. Thank you so much."
