Justin Timberlake has been arrested and accused of driving while intoxicated.
When pulled over by authorities in the early morning on June 18, Timberlake "performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests," the arresting officer claimed in documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
Timberlake had "bloodshot and glossy" eyes, a "strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath" and he was "unable to divide attention," according to the complaint. The "Cry Me A River" singer also exhibited "slowed speech" and was "unsteady afoot."
Timberlake was arraigned Tuesday morning in Sag Harbor, on the eastern end of Long Island, according to a statement from the Suffolk County district attorney’s office.

"At this time, we have no further comment," a spokesperson for the DA's office told Fox News Digital.
Timberlake was charged with one count of driving while intoxicated along with citations for failure to keep right and failure to stop at a stop sign, the district attorney's office confirmed to Fox News Digital. He is expected to appear virtually for his first court hearing in the matter on July 26.
Sag Harbor is a coastal village in the Hamptons, around 100 miles from New York City.
A spokesperson for Timberlake's lawyer, Ed Burke, told Fox News Digital: "No comment from Mr. Burke at this time."

Timberlake admitted he spent four years working on his latest album. He had written 100 songs, but landed on 18 tracks to be released.
"Making this album is different from any other one.… Different from making albums before because I would just go in for a block of time, and say this is what we made and this is what it is," Timberlake said during an appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon."
"I was going back and forth," he explained, so that he could still spend time with his wife, Jessica Biel, and their two kids. "Two weeks writing, coming back for a month, and just what we call writer camps where I would work with different songwriters, work with different producers, people that I’ve worked with before, people that I’ve never worked with before."
While Timberlake has been touring, Biel has been filming in New York City for her upcoming series, "The Better Sister."
Biel was photographed filming in Central Park on Monday.
