Justin Timberlake is vowing to fight a drunk driving charge in the Hamptons, with his lawyer saying, “We will have a lot to say at the appropriate time.”

Hamptons powerhouse attorney, Edward Burke Jr., released a statement to TheWrap on Wednesday saying, “[We] look forward to vigorously defending Mr. Timberlake against these allegations. We will have a lot to say at the appropriate time. He is currently awaiting full discovery from the DA’s office.”

Timberlake, 43, was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated and taken into custody shortly after midnight on Tuesday in Sag Harbor, NY. Police said that after dining with friends at The American Hotel in Sag Harbor, he ran a stop sign in his BMW and veered out of his lane, then showed further signs of intoxication when assessed by an officer.
