Justin Timberlake's DWI Mughshot Turned into Art Installation in Sag Harbor

Justin Timberlake's viral DWI mugshot has been turned into a painting in Sag Harbor, New York.

Page Six reported that artist Godfrey Lohman painted Timberlake's mugshot, which was taken when he was booked in Sag Harbor, New York, last June 2024.

Lohman then turned in the painting at the local Romany Kramoris Gallery in the Hamptons. Reportedly, the lines have been nonstop, and pedestrians have snapped photos of Timberlake's painted mugshot.

"My reaction was, 'Oh my God!' That's great! It's just great!" owner Romany Kramoris told the outlet.

According to one of the gallery's curators, Timberlake's portrait is their "most contemporary piece," describing it as "au courant."

Notably, the gallery has already sold two or three of the works, and "a lot of people are coming back." Kramroris also added that the green one wasn't his favorite, noting that he "looks a little sickly" and has "too many martinis" already."

Timberlake was arrested in Sag Harbor, Long Island, New York, on June 18, 2024, for driving while intoxicated.

The NSYNC singer was eating out with friends at the American Hotel in Sag Harbor before he drove off in his car. Cops stationed outside the hotel spotted and followed him.

"[Timberlake] was out to dinner with friends, and cop cars were stationed outside the restaurant like most nights," an insider told The Daily Mail. "They look for people who are leaving after midnight who might have been drinking."

He was charged with a count of driving while intoxicated and cited for two traffic violations. Eventually, the singer was released without bail on Tuesday morning.

Although Timberlake maintained that he only had one martini, the complaint listed him as someone who "was unable to divide attention," having "slowed speech," "unsteady afoot, and even "performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests."

Page Six reported additional details about the interaction of the arresting officer.

At one point, Timberlake's friends told the cops to let him go. However, the arresting officer was so young that he did not recognize Timberlake.

"He didn't recognize him or his name," one of the insiders revealed. "Justin said under his breath, 'This is going to ruin the tour.' The cop replied, 'What tour?' Justin said, 'The world tour.'"

A court date for Timberlake has been set for July 26, 2024, but the outlet reported that Timberlake will not have to attend the hearing.
