The singer, 43, was arrested for driving while intoxicated after having drinks at Sag Harbor's American Hotel in New York on Monday night, with pictures showing him looking shell-shocked as he was led in handcuffs to court from the Hamptons police station the following morning. Justin was pulled over shortly after midnight when he blew past a stop sign in his BMW X7 – having already been observed by cops swerving across the road, according to reports. The father-of-two performed a field sobriety test and was asked to take a breathalyzer test, which he refused.
Insiders claim the incident should serve as a 'wake-up call' for the singer who used alcohol.
