A New York judge suspended Justin Timberlake’s license and accepted his not-guilty plea Friday in his drunken driving case on Long Island.

Timberlake was arrested by police June 18 in the seaside village of Sag Harbor after officials said he ran a stop sign, veered out of his lane and got out of his BMW smelling of alcohol.

The former NSYNC singer made a virtual appearance because he is on tour in Europe. He wasn’t required by the court to return to the U.S. for his court date.

Timberlake’s attorney, Edward Burke Jr., maintains the singer was not drunk and that the case should be dropped.

“The facts remain he was not intoxicated,” Burke said Friday, according to Newsday. “I’ll say it again: Justin Timberlake was not intoxicated and we’re very confident that charge, that criminal charge, will be dismissed.”

Sag Harbor Village Justice Carl Irace suspended Timberlake’s Tennessee driver’s license in New York state and threatened to impose a gag order on Burke, saying the attorney’s comments to the media have been inappropriate.

Irace set a next court date for Aug. 9.

Timberlake was pulled over after leaving a Sag Harbor hotel around 12:30 a.m., according to police.

“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,” police said in a court filing.

Timberlake, 43, told the officer he had had one martini and was following some friends home, according to police. He was arrested and spent the night in custody at a police station.

The New York Post reported that the unnamed arresting officer “was so young that he didn’t even know” who Timberlake was.
