Justin Timberlake claimed to have had just “one martini’’ before being stopped by cops for alleged drunken driving in the Hamptons early Tuesday — and refused to take a Breathalyzer three times, the criminal complaint shows.
“His eyes were bloodshot and glassy, a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath, he was unable to divide attention, he had slowed speech, he was unsteady afoot, and he performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests,’’ the report said.
The 43-year-old singer and married dad of two had protested to cops when stopped outside the posh American Hotel in Sag Harbor, LI, “I had one martini, and I followed my friends home,’’ the complaint said.
Timberlake was handcuffed and hauled off to police headquarters right around the corner, where cops tried to administer a blood-alcohol-content test about a half-hour after the 12:17 a.m. stop.“No, I’m not doing a chemical test,’’ the star said.
About 15 minutes later, he was asked a second time to take a Breathalyzer and balked again, saying, “I refuse.’’
Cops gave it a third try a little more than 10 minutes after that, but Timberlake only repeated, “I refuse.’’He has hired hot-shot lawyer Eddie Burke Jr., who happens to have an office across the street from the hotel.
Burke did not immediately return Post requests for comment.
