It was reported on Wednesday that Timberlake had nabbed a plea deal in relation to his June 18 drunk driving arrest, but the deal has now been formally accepted and the Trolls star was sentenced on Friday.

The 43-year-old former boy band member and actor had been pulled over in the town of Sag Harbor, about 100 miles east of New York City, after police observed his BMW go through a stop sign and struggle to stay within road lanes.

Sag Harbor Village Justice Court justice Carl Irace handed Timberlake a community service sentence and ordered the star to make a public statement after the 43-year-old pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of driving while alcohol impaired, The New York Post reported.

The officer who pulled over the Cry Me a River singer said that he was in no fit state to drive.

"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," the police report said.
