Don’t expect to see Justin Timberlake scooping up trash along the Long Island Expressway any time soon.
Instead, the pop icon will be performing his 25 hours of court-ordered community service within the confines of the cozy court system itself after taking a plea deal in his Hamptons drunk-driving arrest Friday, The Post has learned.
But a source close to the singer’s defense team said forget about the “Suit and Tie” star cleaning courthouse toilets or mopping jury room floors.
“He would be doing stuff like sorting documents [for the court clerk], organizing files,” said the source.
Timberlake, 43, even has final say over where he’ll do his hours, the source said — noting it would likely be in New York, California or his home state of Tennessee.
The “SexyBack” crooner was eager to strike a deal, the source added, ahead of his upcoming Canadian tour dates next month.
“With a felony conviction on his record, Canada wouldn’t have let him in,” the source explained. “He wouldn’t be allowed into a lot of other countries, too, but he makes big money in Canada.”
Calling it “a weak case,” the source said local prosecutors were also interested in pursuing a plea.
“There was no blood evidence, and he refused the Breathalyzer,” said the source.
The prosecution didn’t want to rely on “observational testimony” from “a rookie cop who didn’t even know who the guy was,” the source insisted.
Timberlake appeared in Sag Harbor Village Court Friday, and pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of driving while alcohol impaired instead of the more serious charge of driving while intoxicated, a felony.
He was also ordered to pay a small fine and author a public service announcement.
Timberlake’s 2025 BMW was pulled over in the early hours of June 18 after Sag Harbor police alleged he blew a stop sign and was swerving out of his lane. He then refused three times to take a breathalyzer test, police allege.
On the night of his arrest, Timberlake was warned earlier not to drive by the officer who later stopped him, The Post previously reported.
Timberlake told the arresting officer he’d had one martini at the American Hotel before heading for his car. The bartender working that night corroborated the singer’s claim to investigators, the source said.
The singer also famously told the cop that the incident would “ruin the tour.”
Timberlake’s lawyer couldn’t be reached for comment. Prosecutors were also unavailable.
Timberlake has had issues with alcohol for years, sources had told Page Six, and that he’s largely enabled by the people surrounding him.
“It’s a real thing, and when you have a drinking problem, it’s apparent, yet they’ve pushed this tour on him, and he’s been in a very dark place,” the source said.
