“So the reason for the stop is because of you’re veering off to the left and then you’re not stopping at the stop signs.” “Yeah, sorry about that.” “Is this your vehicle? Whose vehicle is it?” “Yeah, it’s just a rental.” “What are you, visiting?” “Yeah, I’m on tour.” “What are you doing?” “I’m on a world tour.” “A what?” “A world tour.” “Doing what?” “Hard to explain.” “I’m Justin Timberlake.” “What’s your name?” “Justin Timberlake.” “You are Justin Timberlake?” “Yeah.” “Do you have a license with you?” “Yeah, I do.” “And then, and then just walk. I’m sorry.” “Here, ready.” “I’m a little nervous.” “The way this device works is you just put your lips over it and you blow up. Blow into it like you’re blowing a balloon.” “At this point, based on the observations, you’re under arrest for suspicion of driving while intoxicated.” “My partner here observed you, some kind of traffic violation. Started a traffic stop, believed you have impairment. Did a series of routine tests on you, right? Field sobriety tests, okay? You performed poorly on those.” “So, you’re being held for the night, and then in the morning is the arraignment. So in the morning, usually around 9:30 —” “So I’m being held all night?” “It might not be this one. It might be over at the other one. And they actually have blankets for you.” “You guys are wild man.” “You guys are wild man.”
