"I had one martini," Justin Timberlake said to police after being arrested in Hamptons on a DWI allegation.

It was at 9:30 a.m. when he was charged. Tuesday in Sag Harbor Village Justice Court, and he was allowed to leave on his own volition. Court officials have stated that on July 26, he will make a virtual appearance.
