Justin Timberlake had his driving licence suspended in the state of New York, as he pleaded not guilty to a charge of driving while intoxicated.

Axar.az reports that the pop star was arrested 18 June for going through a stop sign and failing to stay on the right side of the road.

Timberlake, 43, appeared virtually from Europe where he is on tour as he was formally charged with the crime in Sag Harbor, New York.

Sag Harbor Village Justice Justice Carl Irace suspended Timberlake's driving licence for an undetermined period, as is standard after a DWI arrest.

Timberlake's lawyer has denied he was under the influence at the wheel and says the charges should be dismissed.

On Friday, Timberlake wore a black-collared shirt and spoke twice during the virtual court hearing, answering "yes" to questions from the judge.

He was appearing from Germany, where he is preparing to perform in Antwerp, Belgium, this weekend.
