The 43-year-old pop star was detained in New York for running a stop sign and failing to stay on the right side of the road.

His first court hearing took place on Friday, where his lawyer Edward Burke said police made "a very significant number of errors" in the case.

“The most important fact to know about this case is that Justin was not intoxicated and should not have been arrested for DWI,” he added.

Speaking outside Sag Harbor Village Justice Court, Mr Burke said Timberlake "respects law enforcement" and cooperated with the police officers at all times.
