urged drivers not to get behind the wheel of a car after even a single alcoholic drink on Friday, shortly after pleading guilty to driving while impaired in New York香蕉视频直播檚 Hamptons earlier this year.

The public safety announcement in front of the Sag Harbor police department was part of the plea deal he struck with prosecutors to resolve the criminal case. He was also sentenced to a $500 fine with a $260 surcharge, 25 hours of community service at the nonprofit of his choosing and a 90-day suspension of his license.

The boy band singer-turned-solo star and actor appeared in the adjacent Sag Harbor Village Court to enter the guilty plea and expressed remorse for his actions.

香蕉视频直播淚 try to hold myself to a very high standard, for myself, and this was not that,香蕉视频直播� Timberlake told the news media and other onlookers after the hearing.

香蕉视频直播淓ven if you香蕉视频直播檝e had one drink, don香蕉视频直播檛 get behind the wheel of a car,香蕉视频直播� he said. 香蕉视频直播淭here香蕉视频直播檚 so many alternatives. Call a friend. Take an Uber. There香蕉视频直播檚 many travel apps. Still, take a taxi. This is a mistake that I made, but I香蕉视频直播檓 hoping that whoever is watching and listening right now can learn from this mistake. I know that I certainly have.香蕉视频直播�

He made similar comments during the court hearing and said he grew up in a small town and appreciated the kind of strain his arrest has made on Sag Harbor. He said he has had a lot of time to reflect on his actions.

Timberlake said he is 香蕉视频直播済rateful for the opportunity to move forward香蕉视频直播� and use his platform to hopefully help others make 香蕉视频直播渂etter decisions.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淚 should香蕉视频直播檝e had better judgment,香蕉视频直播� he said to the judge. 香蕉视频直播淚 understand the seriousness of this.香蕉视频直播�

Judge Carl Irace expressed disappointment with the proposed plea deal put forward by prosecutors. He questioned the appropriateness of the public announcement Timberlake intended to make shortly after the court proceedings. He was concerned it did not give proper time for him to reflect on his actions and for that reason he said he was adding on community service requirements to the sentence.

香蕉视频直播淢y experience is that these conditions can prove helpful and even gratifying for the accused,香蕉视频直播� the judge said.

The pop star originally pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated and had his during a hearing last month.

Edward Burke Jr., Timberlake香蕉视频直播檚 attorney, maintained outside the court after Friday香蕉视频直播檚 hearing that his client only had one drink in two hours at the American Hotel. 香蕉视频直播淐ontrary to what was reported, he wasn香蕉视频直播檛 drinking other peoples香蕉视频直播� drinks, or warned in advance not to drive,香蕉视频直播� said Burke, adding that Timberlake was also polite and cooperative during his arrest.

Burke said the lesser charge Timberlake pleaded to is 香蕉视频直播渃onsistent with these facts.香蕉视频直播�

Prosecutor Patrick O香蕉视频直播機onnell told the judge Timberlake giving a public service announcement hopefully would show that no one is above the law and even celebrities can be treated like everyone else. He said prosecutors also weighed recommending community service, but thought the announcement would be a valuable service in itself because of its potential effect on young people.

Timberlake in Sag Harbor a little after midnight on June 18 after police said he ran a stop sign in the village center, veered out of his lane and got out of his BMW smelling of alcohol.

Police in court filings also said the 43-year-old Tennessee native香蕉视频直播檚 eyes were 香蕉视频直播渂loodshot and glassy香蕉视频直播� and that he had 香蕉视频直播渟lowed speech,香蕉视频直播� was unsteady on his feet and performed poorly on all sobriety tests.

Timberlake told the officer he had had one martini and was following some friends home, police said.

Sag Harbor is a one-time whaling village mentioned in Herman Melville香蕉视频直播檚 classic novel 香蕉视频直播淢oby-Dick香蕉视频直播� that is nestled amid the Hamptons, an area of seaside communities around 100 miles (160 kilometers) east of New York City.

Timberlake香蕉视频直播檚 license suspension in New York likely affects his ability to drive in other states, a legal expert said this week.

Refusing a Breathalyzer test, as Timberlake did during his arrest, triggers an automatic suspension of one香蕉视频直播檚 license under New York state law, which should then be enforced in other states, according to Kenneth Gober, a managing partner at the law firm Lee, Gober & Reyna in Austin, Texas.

香蕉视频直播淢ost states participate in the interstate Driver香蕉视频直播檚 License Compact, an agreement to share information about license suspensions and traffic violations,香蕉视频直播� he explained in an email. 香蕉视频直播淚f a license is suspended in one state it should be suspended in all states.香蕉视频直播�

In practice, though, it can take a long time for such changes to be reflected across state lines, Gober acknowledged. The pop star also has the resources to easily arrange for a driver and doesn香蕉视频直播檛 need a car to drive to do his job, he added.

Timberlake has been on tour for months in support of his latest album. He returns to the New York City area in the coming weeks with concerts in Newark in New Jersey and in Brooklyn.

Among those outside the police station Friday to hear Timberlake speak was a local mother who said her by a drunk driver in 2018. Alisa McMorris, who now runs a foundation in her son香蕉视频直播檚 memory, said she hoped Timberlake香蕉视频直播檚 remarks would help bring more awareness to the dangers of driving under the influence.

香蕉视频直播淛ustin has such a huge platform to the next generation. People listen to him,香蕉视频直播� she said after the singer had departed. 香蕉视频直播淔ive words I tell the kids when I go to the high schools is 香蕉视频直播楬ow are we getting home?香蕉视频直播� and he spoke about that. Make a plan. I don香蕉视频直播檛 want another sister or a family to have to go through what we did.香蕉视频直播�
