Justin Timberlake's DWI arrest was reportedly handled by a police officer so young, he didn't even recognise the pop icon.
Despite Timberlake's reign over the pop charts in the late '90s and early 2000s with his boy band NSYNC and solo hits, it appears some of the younger generation aren't as familiar with his work.
It's claimed the unnamed officer who pulled over the 10-time Grammy Award-winning artist "was so young that he didn't even know" the 43 year old singer.

The Sag Harbor Police Department released a statement, which The Mirror got hold of, detailing how Timberlake was stopped in his 2025 BMW for blowing through a stop sign and swerving about.
