Justin Timberlake's Arresting Officer Reportedly Didn't Know Who He Was — and the Internet Can't Stop Laughing

"Justin said under his breath, 'This is going to ruin the tour.' The cop replied, 'What tour?' Justin said, 'The world tour,'" a source reportedly told Page Six of Justin Timberlake's arrest — and the alleged moment has spawned many memes.

The source quotes sent social media into a frenzy, with many users finding humor the *NSYNC member allegedly assuming officials would be aware of his ongoing Forget Tomorrow World Tour. Timberlake's arrest occurred in the morning on June 18 after he was "hanging out with friends" at the establishment, a source told PEOPLE at the time. After an officer initiated a traffic stop, they noted that Timberlake's "eyes were bloodshot and glassy, a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath, he was unable to divide attention, he had slowed speech, he was unsteady afoot, and he performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests," per the arrest report.
