Justin Timberlake pleaded guilty to a traffic violation, and his Long Island DWI charge was dropped as part of a plea deal, according to multiple reports Wednesday.
Timberlake, 43, will admit to driving while ability impaired, TMZ reported. Despite the name, the charge carries notably lighter penalties than DWI, and Timberlake will likely be fined $300 to $500.
The exact fine will be determined by a judge on Friday in Suffolk County, according to TMZ. Timberlake had previously pleaded not guilty in the case.
The former NSYNC star was arrested in the early morning hours of June 18 in Sag Harbor and charged with driving while intoxicated, which carries up to a one-year jail sentence.
At the scene, Timberlake refused to take a breathalyzer test. He claimed he only had one martini before getting behind the wheel, but cops said he failed multiple field sobriety tests.
Because Timberlake refused to take the breathalyzer, his license was automatically suspended under New York law.
