How did Justin Timberlake appear during his arrest?

According to People, an arrest report claims that the Sexyback singer was stopped after a police officer saw his car (BMW 2025) drive through the stop sign and “fail to keep on the right side of the roadway.”

The police said that the musician's eyes appeared to be “bloodshot and glassy” with a strong smell of an alcoholic drink emanating from Timberlake’s breath. The singer was not able to divide his attention, his speech was slowed, he was “unsteady afoot,” and the musician performed badly in all standardized field sobriety tests.

The singer was then taken to the Sag Harbor Police Headquarters where he reportedly denied taking a “chemical test” that would reveal his blood alcohol level.
