Police Officer Who Arrested Justin Timberlake for DWI Named Sag Harbor Officer of the Year

Michael Arkinson, the Sag Harbor Police Department cop who arrested Justin Timberlake on suspicion of DWI, has been awarded officer of the year.

Michael Arkinson, the Sag Harbor Police Department officer who arrested Justin Timberlake on suspicion of driving while intoxicated last summer, has been awarded for his work. Arkinson noted in a court filing that “the defendant was operating said vehicle in an intoxicated condition in that his 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.” After pleading guilty in New York’s Sag Harbor Village Court, according to the Associated Press, Timberlake was sentenced to a $500 fine with a $260 surcharge as well as 25 hours of community service at a nonprofit of his choosing.
