Justin Timberlake set to appear in person for hearing in drunk-driving case

Reports suggest star, who was arrested in June and charged with driving while intoxicated, has brokered plea deal

Justin Timberlake is expected to appear personally in court in the Hamptons on Friday in his drunk-driving case, amid reports that the pop star will admit to a traffic violation.

Timberlake's expected appearance in local court in Sag Harbor - the seaside playground area for the rich and famous out on New York's scenic South Fork peninsula on Long Island - stems from his 18 June arrest after he allegedly drove through a stop sign and swerved out of his lane. The singer was charged with the misdemeanor offense of driving while intoxicated (DWI).
