Justin Timberlake Drank Patron’s Cocktail Before Arrest

But as always, there is way more to the story that cannot be expressed through a singular picture. According to New York Post‘s Page Six, Timberlake was spotted taking a sip of someone else’s drink before he was arrested for DUI.
“He was wasted. At one point, just before closing, somebody got up to go to the bathroom and left his drink on the table,” the source told Page Six.
After the patron came back from the bathroom he confronted Timberlake about drinking his cocktail.
“The guy goes, ‘Justin, that’s my drink!’” the source added.
