A month before his now infamous Sag Harbor DWI arrest, Justin Timberlake was spotted performing with bloodshot eyes.
While performing on stage at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on May 12, Timberlake appeared to be in a concerning state, with his eyes appearing open wide and bloodshot.

After the TikTok video’s comments were turned off, a conversation started on X (formerly Twitter) about Justin Timberlake’s Las Vegas performance.
“This man doesn’t need a world tour,” one X user stated. “He needs a rehabilitation center immediately. His eyes are bulging out from his skull. This isn’t the spiral you want to go on.”
Referencing Timberlake’s ex, Britney Spears, another X user wrote, “What he needs is a conservatorship.”
Meanwhile, X users came to the defense of Justin Timberlake. They dismissed the “concerns.”
“This man is 42 years old,” an X user explained. “Let’s stop acting like a few wrinkles and frown lines are exclusive to a hard-partying pop star. You all could only WISH to be as fortunate looking as that man at his tender age. Take several seats… on several d—.”
Cop Who Arrested Justin Timberlake Is Known For ‘Strict Enforcement’ of Traffic Laws
The cop who arrested Justin Timberlake in Sag Harbor is reportedly known for being strict when it comes to traffic law enforcement.
The officer, identified as 24-year-old Michael Arkinson, has been with the Sag Harbor Village Police Department for three months.
“Spencer,” one person whom Arkinson pulled over recently spoke to Daily Mail about the interaction. “I was surprised he pulled me over,” Spencer said. “It was off-season, and no one was around. It was a d—head move. I felt he pulled me over just for the sake of doing it.”
Arkinson only gave Spencer a warning. However, he was once again stopped by Arkinson not long after for talking on his cellphone while driving. Spencer argued he was using his speakerphone during that stop.
“He told me I should have been using Bluetooth,” Spencer stated. Arkinson then gave him a $145 ticket.
“I thought he would give me a break… It really interrupted my workout and lunch plans,” Spencer pointed out. “‘I think Justin Timberlake was a victim of over-aggressive Sag Harbor police.”
A fellow Sag Harbor resident pointed out that Arkinson was a traffic control officer before joining the police force in Sag Harbor.
“Everyone knew where the cops would park on Main Street,” they said. They also stated that Arkinson’s lack of knowledge of Timberlake’s fame was understandable. “If that is not your taste in music, how would you know?”
