New details have emerged regarding Justin Timberlake's DWI arrest — and they don't seem to back his not guilty plea.

Arkinson initially pulled Timberlake over for blowing through a stop sign in Sag Harbor, N.Y., however, after approaching the A-list celebrity's vehicle, the officer noticed the former *NSYNC frontman's allegedly "bloodshot and glassy eyes," with the "odor of [an] alcoholic beverage emanating from [his] breath," the arrest papers detailed.
In addition to the seemingly clear signs of intoxication, Timberlake failed to successfully complete a walk-and-turn test after not following instructions given by the law enforcement officer.
