When Justin Timberlake was pulled over by cops back in June for driving under the influence, we bet he never expected the arrest to be poked fun at ceaselessly in the weeks that followed.

By the sounds of it, however, a month and a half later, fans are still going on about the incident, after what the arresting officer allegedly told the singer began spreading like wildfire on social media.

The 43-year-old 'Sexyback' singer had been driving his 2025 BMW through the Hamptons last month when he flew directly past a stop sign in the Sag Harbour area.

Concerned officers on the scene proceeded to pull the noughties chart-topper over after noticing him failing to stay within the road lines during their pursuit.

He was charged with the crime of driving under the influence of alcohol that very same day.

It wasn't until news of his arrest hit the headlines slightly later that day, however, that fans caught wind of a bizarre interaction which had allegedly taken place while officers apprehended the star.

Despite 10 Grammy Awards and countless No. 1 singles under his belt, fans were left in stitches after learning that the arresting officers had 'no idea' who the singer was.

According to a sources who spoke to Page Six last month, the cops were allegedly 'so young' that they 'didn’t even' clock the identity of the three-time Brit Award winner.

And even more hilariously, after Timberlake reportedly told officers that his arrest would 'ruin the tour' - referring to the global tour of his sixth album, Everything I Thought It Was, which kicked off earlier this year - the officers replied, 'What tour?'.

Anyone else cringing in their seats?

According to a report from PA, after making their arrest, police described Timberlake's eyes as 'bloodshot and glassy', before claiming that the hit-maker had a ‘strong odour of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his breath'.

According to court documents, Timberlake’s speech was slowed, and he claimed only had 'one martini' with friends.

"He was unable to divide attention, he had slowed speech, he was unsteady afoot and he performed poorly on all standardised field sobriety tests," the court papers added.
