Justin Timberlake’s mug shot has been released by the Sag Harbor Police Department following the singer’s arrest in Long Island, New York.

The statement added that Timberlake was “observed operating a 2025 BMW southbound on Madison Street, failing to stop at a duly posted stop sign and failing to maintain his lane of travel.”

After observing the hitmaker’s alleged intoxicated condition, police arrested, processed and held him overnight for an arraignment at the Sag Harbor Village Justice Court. He was arraigned on Tuesday, June 18 at 9:30 a.m. and he was released on his own recognizance, the statement confirmed.

PEOPLE confirmed Timberlake will be charged with one count of DWI and two citations — one for running a stop sign and one for failure to keep in lane. He’s due back in court on July 26.

“Nobody was hurt,” the source said.

An an insider told PEOPLE that during his courthouse appearance the “Selfish” singer, accompanied by attorney Ed Burke Jr. and two other individuals, was handcuffed “with his hands in front of him” and wore “a black bowling shirt, light jeans and white and baby blue Air Force 1s.” His cuffs were removed following the arraignment.

“He did seem a bit upset,” said the source. “Jessica [Biel, his wife] was not with him.”

“I will always be there for you through your peaks and valleys… to lift you up and show you how high you can take this life and to pick you up when you fall,” Timberlake continued. “And, of course, to flood you with insufferable Dad-jokes all along the way. I love you both so much. Thank you for giving me my biggest purpose.”

Biel, 42 — who’s been apart from Timberlake amid his tour and while she films her new Prime Video series, The Better Sister — also penned a sweet Father’s Day message to her husband on Instagram, stating, “You’re so many things to so many people. But to us you are THE ROCK.”

She added, “The rock we climb on, we lean against. The rock that shades us from the sun. And when we recline on you, as we always do, hopefully our butts will keep you eternally grounded and warm. We LOVE YOU 🪨❤️.”
