Justin Timberlake kept a low-profile as he was pictured for the first time since pleading guilty to a DWI charge.
The NSYNC alum, 43, was seen stepping out of a building, clad in a look that was part laid-back, part fashionable.
Justin sported an off-white ‘RC’ cap, sunglasses, faded jeans, and trendy black loafers. The Bye Bye Bye singer also accessorized with a beaded necklace.
Bag slung over his shoulder, the bearded pop star stepped out with a bold blue ‘Hydrated’ water bottle in hand.
Timberlake had been facing a criminal charge of driving while intoxicated but instead pleaded guilty to a reduced violation charge of driving with ability impaired on Friday.

The plea leaves Timberlake free of a criminal record, which he would’ve had if convicted of the original misdemeanor charge.
Timberlake was arrested early in the morning on June 18 in the Hamptons after a night of drinking at the American Hotel. As part of the plea deal, he agreed to pay the maximum fine of $500 and a surcharge of $260. Additionally, he committed to making a public statement about the dangers of drunk driving.
Judge Carl Irace initially expressed dissatisfaction with the proposed statement, preferring a public service announcement. However, he ultimately accepted the deal under certain conditions.
Timberlake’s demeanor in court was somber. He expressed a desire to avoid returning to the courtroom and stated his love for the Sag Harbor area.
A major component of the plea deal struck by Timberlake’s attorney, Edward, Burke Jr. and the Suffolk County district attorneys office was that, after entering his plea, he would give a public statement about the dangers of drinking and driving.
To make the public announcement, Timberlake and his attorney exited the courthouse through a pedestrian bridge that connected the court to the police headquarters. This was the same bridge he had crossed in handcuffs on the night of his arrest.
At the police headquarters, Timberlake addressed the media, speaking about the dangers of drunk driving. Before the announcement, he had entered his guilty plea and faced questioning from Assistant District Attorney Ashley Cangro and Justice Irace.
While Cangro accepted Timberlake’s admission of the basic elements of the violation, Irace pressed for more details about the events leading up to his decision to drive. Timberlake reportedly expressed deep remorse and acknowledged the life lesson he had learned.

In addition to the fine, Timberlake’s driving license was suspended for 90 days. This suspension runs concurrently with a previous year-long revocation by the Department of Motor Vehicles due to his refusal to take a breath test.
Judge Irace emphasized the importance of community service and required Timberlake to complete between 25 and 40 hours of service. Timberlake agreed and expressed a desire to reach people of all ages with his message.
