Justin Timberlake gets off with community service after pleading guilty in Hamptons DWI case

Justin Timberlake was ordered to do community service on Friday after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor drunk driving case in the Hamptons.

The 43-year-old “Sexy Back” singer pleaded guilty Friday morning in Sag Harbor Village Court to the lesser charge of driving while intoxicated, rather than the more serious charge of operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

Judge Carl Eileis sentenced the pop star to community service and said he must make a public statement, which Timberlake was scheduled to read shortly after the trial on Friday.
