The pop star is expected to appear in Sag Harbor Village court on Friday to plead guilty and pay a fine, resolving the misdemeanor charges, the sources said.
Timberlake was leaving the American Hotel in June when he was pulled over for running a stop sign and swerving into the oncoming lane. The officer smelled alcohol on his breath, according to a police report.
In a criminal complaint, police added that Timberlake had bloodshot, glassy eyes. He also had slow speech, was unsteady on his feet and performed poorly on a field sobriety test, according to the complaint.
The criminal complaint noted that Timberlake told the arresting officer he only had one drink.

As part of his arrest, Timberlake’s license was also suspended because he refused a chemical test at the time. But since it’s an out-of-state driver’s license, it only affects his ability to drive in New York.
He has pleaded not guilty twice to charges stemming from his DUI arrest. After his initial plea of not guilty, he was arraigned on August 2, where the singer appeared virtually, following a paperwork error when he was first charged.
After his arrest, Timberlake spoke about what he went through during a performance at Chicago’s United Center on June 21.
“We’ve been through ups and downs and lefts and rights,” he said.
“It’s been a tough week,” he continued. “But you’re here, and I’m here.”
Timberlake is currently on his ‘The Forget Tomorrow World Tour’. His next show will be later this month in New Jersey.
