Singer Justin Timberlake charged with driving while intoxicated in the Hamptons - 9News

Singer Justin Timberlake has been arrested on allegations he was driving while intoxicated on New York's Long Island, authorities say.

Timberlake was released from custody later on Tuesday morning (early Wednesday AEST) after being formally charged in Sag Harbor, on the eastern end of Long Island.

He was charged with one DWI count, with his next court date scheduled for July 26, the Suffolk County district attorney's office said.

Timberlake's lawyer and representatives did not immediately return requests for comment from The Associated Press.

Sag Harbor is a coastal village in the Hamptons, about 160 kilometres from New York City. In the summer, it is a hot spot for wealthy visitors.

A young Timberlake was a Disney Mouseketeer, where his castmates included future girlfriend Britney Spears.

He rose to fame in the popular boy band NSYNC and embarked on a solo recording career in 2002.

As an actor, Timberlake has won acclaim in movies including The Social Network and Friends With Benefits.

He has won 10 Grammy awards and four Primetime Emmy Awards.

Last year, Timberlake was in the headlines when Spears released her memoir, The Woman in Me.

In March, he released his first new album in six years, the nostalgic Everything I Thought It Was, a return to his familiar future funk sound.

Timberlake has two upcoming shows in Chicago on Friday and Saturday, then is scheduled for New York's Madison Square Garden next week on Tuesday and Wednesday.
