Justin Timberlake’s DWI

Justin Timberlake’s DWI

Poor Justin Timberlake.

So what if the pop star blew through a stop sign after he’d been drinking one night last week in the exclusive enclave of Sag Harbor, N.Y.? Who cares if he failed to keep his 2025 BMW on the right side of the road? What difference does it make if he reportedly failed field sobriety tests and reeked of alcohol? What does it matter if he refused a breathalyzer?

The cop was a jerk. He didn’t know he’d pulled over a celebrity. He actually arrested the guy who tried to bring sexy back.

Can you believe it?

“What tour?” the rookie officer reportedly asked the singer when Timberlake muttered something about “so much for the tour.”

“The world tour” Timberlake snapped.

And just like that, social media went after not the guy who is accused of driving drunk, but the police officer who got him off the road before he could kill someone.

The cop has been doxed and mocked. Anonymous Sag Harbor locals told The New York Post they have nicknames for the 24-year-old officer: “The Sag Harbor Nazi,” the “little red-headed dip-@#$%.”

You see, when you live in an exclusive Long Island enclave where the MEDIAN home price is $999,000 and the annual income for  family of four is $373,424, you don’t like upstart cops who believe traffic laws are a matter of public safety.

One guy who only gave his first name to the Post said he’d gotten a ticket for making an illegal U turn, when “no one was around.”

Another victim of this officer got a ticket for talking on his cellphone.

The horror.

Now this. A young cop, who wasn’t even born when the 43-year-old Timberlake formed NSYNC in 1995, failed to give the one-time sensation a pass.

On Saturday night in Chicago poor Justin thanked his fans for their support

“We’ve been together through ups and downs, lefts and rights. It’s been a tough week, but you’re here and I’m here, and nothing can change this moment right now."

"I know sometimes I’m hard to love, but you keep on loving me and I love you right back.”

A tough week. OK, Justin. You know who’s having a tougher week? That cop, doing his job.

Timberlake supposedly claims he only had one martini on the night in question. Who knows, perhaps he’ll beat the rap.

After all, he IS Justin Timberlake. This is New York, where most crimes go unpunished.

In the meantime, let’s hear it for the Sag Harbor rookie cop who took an apparent drunk off the road, making the Empire State a little safer for one night in June.

Justin Timberlake is worth an estimated $250 million.

Maybe next time he has “one martini” he’ll spent 20 bucks on an Uber.
