“The charge was a single count because he refused the breath test,” Timberlake’s lawyer, Ed Burke, told Us Weekly following his arrest on Tuesday morning. “Mr. Timberlake was also charged with two other court citations, running a stop sign and not traveling in the correct traffic lane,” Burke added.
The 43-year-old star is currently engaged in his Forget Tomorrow world tour supporting his latest album Everything I Thought It Was. The court date for his hearing has been scheduled for July 26 which would conflict with his concert in Poland scheduled for the same day.
