He was kept in police custody and then tried. He was later released without bail and charged with two counts of traffic violations and one count of DWI.)

“A lot of you have covered me for most of my life and, as you know, I try to hold myself to the highest standard,” Timberlake said at a press conference in September. “This was not that. I found myself in a situation where I could have made a different decision, but I had time to think about it.”

He continued, “What I would like to say to everyone watching and listening: Even if you drink once, don’t get behind the wheel of a car.” There are many alternatives, call a friend, take an Uber, there are many transportation apps [or] take a taxi. This is a mistake I made, but I hope that anyone watching and listening right now can learn from this mistake.”

Timerblake agreed to a plea deal, accepting a lesser charge of traffic violations. He will complete 25 to 40 hours of community service with a non-profit organization, pay a $500 fine and issue a public safety order.
