Justin Timberlake’s attorney, Edward Burke, argued in court that the singer was not intoxicated when he was arrested last month for a DWI (driving while intoxicated) in New York.
During a hearing on Friday, Burke appeared in court without Timberlake and claimed that the cops screwed up when they arrested the 43-year-old pop star in Sag Harbor, CNN reported.
“The most important fact to know about this case is that Justin was not intoxicated and should not have been arrested for DWI,” Burke said in a statement. “The police made a number of very significant errors in this case.”
“Justin respects law enforcement and the very important job that they do,” the statement added. “He cooperated with the police officers at all times and treated them with the respect they deserve.”
