Justin Timberlake has reached a plea deal in his driving under the influence (DUI) case, according to the Shelby County District Attorney's office.
The "Can't Stop the Feeling!" singer was arrested in Memphis, Tennessee, in March 2018, after police said they found him behind the wheel of a car that was stopped in the middle of the road.
Timberlake was charged with DUI and refusing to submit to a sobriety test. He pleaded not guilty to the charges in April 2018.
The plea deal was reached on Wednesday, July 17, 2019, according to the DA's office. The terms of the deal were not immediately released.
Timberlake's attorney, William H. Parks, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
If convicted of DUI, Timberlake could have faced up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.
Timberlake is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and actor. He is married to actress Jessica Biel. The couple has two children.
Timberlake's arrest and subsequent DUI charge made headlines around the world. The plea deal is likely to put an end to the legal proceedings in the case.
However, Timberlake may still face public scrutiny for his actions. DUI is a serious offense, and it can have a lasting impact on a person's career and reputation.
It is important to note that Timberlake has not been convicted of DUI. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges, and he is entitled to a fair trial.
However, the plea deal suggests that Timberlake is willing to take responsibility for his actions. It is also a sign that he is trying to move on from this incident.
