A cop who arrested Justin Timberlake had no idea who the A-lister was when he was pulled over on Tuesday.
The Grammy-award winning singer, 43, who has sold 54 million albums, was arrested in the US for allegedly driving while intoxicated in Sag Harbor in the Hamptons. After his arrest, a red-eyed mugshot of Justin was released, but there was more shame for the dad-of-two after it was revealed the cop who cuffed him was clueless of his identity.
The police officer "was so young that he didn't even know" who the Cry Me A River star was and "didn't recognise him or his name", a source said.

"Justin said under his breath, 'This is going to ruin the tour'. The cop replied, 'What tour?' Justin said: 'The world tour,'" reports Page Six.
The Sexy Back star was reportedly hanging out with friends in the American Hotel when he left around 12:30 A.M before getting into his car. He is then said to have driven to his residence before being pulled over. The singer appeared in his mug shot with a stone-cold face, lacking any emotion.

Sources in law enforcement told TMZ that Justin was "glassy-eyed" and the police smelled alcohol on his breath. He also apparently failed the field sobriety test where he was unable to walk and turn and balance on one leg. However, Justin told police: "I had one martini and I followed my friends home," according to an arrest report obtained by People.
The star's friends allegedly arrived at the scene and tried to persuade the cops to let Justin go - to no avail. The singer was handcuffed and arrested before being taken into custody.
The Suffolk County District Attorney issued a statement Tuesday morning that read: "On June 18, 2024, Justin Timberlake was arrested in Sag Harbor for Driving While Intoxicated. He will be arraigned in Sag Harbor Village Justice Court this morning. At this time, we have no further comment."
The husband of actress, Jessica Biel, arrived at court sporting a black baseball cap and designer sunglasses. Justin was charged with one count of Driving While Intoxicated and was cited for running a stop sign and a "failure to keep in his lane." The singer's court date is set for July 26 - the same day his European leg of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour kicks off in Krakow, Poland.
After Justin's arrest, The Sinner star, Jessica, showed it was business as usual when she was snapped on the set of her upcoming Amazon series, The Better Sister, in New York City just hours after the NSYNC singer had been cuffed by cops.
Despite the incident, which will see Timberlake appear in court next month, the actress managed to flash a wry smile. A body language expert exclusively told us the mum-of-two had the "classic A-list polite but blank expression" strewn across her face.
