Police in the Hamptons released a mugshot of singer Justin Timberlake Tuesday afternoon, following his arrest for allegedly driving drunk after leaving a party.
Timberlake, 43, was held overnight by Sag Harbor Police Department ahead of his arraignment at the village's courthouse Tuesday morning. He was released without bail.
Officers said they watched the star drive through the New York village and run a stop light, while also failing to stay in the correct lane.

The Sag Harbor Police Department had confirmed to Newsweek Tuesday morning that the star was in their custody.
He appeared for arraignment Tuesday, charged with a DWI offense, and was later seen leaving the court in a black baseball cap and black button-down shirt.
When cops pulled Timberlake over at around 12:30 a.m. Tuesday, they had tailed him for around half a mile, TMZ reported.
He reportedly had glassy eyes and smelt strongly of alcohol, but told officers he had only had one martini.
Friends then arrived and asked officers to cut him a break, but they placed him under arrest. It is not the first time that alcohol has gotten the former Disney Mouseketeer into trouble.

Timberlake is currently on tour, with two shows planned at the United Center in Chicago, Il. on June 20 and 21, followed by two shows at New York City's Madison Square Garden.
Newsweek reached out to both venues for comment, with MSG deferring to Timberlake's management.
Following his release without bail Tuesday morning, Timberlake was scheduled to next appear in court on July 26. The artist is due to perform in Krakow, Poland, that night.
On Sunday, both the singer and his wife posted on their Instagram pages to mark Father's Day.
"I learn more about myself everyday just because you both chose me to be your Daddy," he wrote of his two children. "I will always be there for you through your peaks and valleys... to lift you up and show you how high you can take this life and to pick you up when you fall. And, of course, to flood you with insufferable Dad-jokes all along the way. I love you both so much. Thank you for giving me my biggest purpose."
