“[We] look forward to vigorously defending Mr. Timberlake against these allegations,” attorney Edward Burke Jr. says.

Justin Timberlake is vowing to fight his drink driving charge in the Hamptons, with his lawyer saying Wednesday that “We will have a lot to say at the appropriate time.”

Hamptons powerhouse attorney Edward Burke Jr., released a statement to TheWrap on Wednesday, saying, “[We] look forward to vigorously defending Mr. Timberlake against these allegations. We will have a lot to say at the appropriate time. He is currently awaiting full discovery from the DA’s office.”

Timberlake, 43, was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated and taken into custody shortly after midnight on Tuesday in Sag Harbor, NY.

Police said that after drinking with friends at The American Hotel, he ran a stop sign and veered out of his lane, then showed further signs of intoxication when assessed by an officer.

The singer was stopped at about 12:30 a.m., the AP reported, citing court documents. “His eyes were bloodshot and glassy, a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath, he was unable to divide attention, he had slowed speech, he was unsteady afoot and he performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests,” according to court papers.

Timberlake told the officer he’d had one martini and was following friends home, according to the documents. Following his arrest, he refused a breathalyzer at a nearby East Hampton police station.

He was released without bail and will appear in court again on July 26.
