Justin Timberlake's Mugshot Causes Social Media Frenzy and Endless Memes: 'Is There a Ring Light?'

Justin Timberlake’s photo is the talk of the town.

After the 43-year-old “Sexy Back” singer’s arrest in Sag Harbor, New York on Tuesday, June 18, a photo of him was released, and social media users couldn’t help but point out her excellent lighting and turn it into a meme.

However, the Sag Harbor Police Department tells PEOPLE they took the photos using a “standard Canon camera” connected to the agency’s booking computer with “no special lighting.”

“They got some nice lighting at the police station,” one Instagram user commented on PEOPLE’s post.

“Is there a ring light?” another user commented.

On Xu, several created memes for the video — one compared the redness in his eyes to one of the penguins in the Madagascar.

“This is what Justin Timberlake looked like in his photo,” they wrote.

Another X user insisted that the image was “the best mug shot ever, they said knock out the Nikon, we’ll get this MF in 4K.”

Meanwhile, another user admitted: “Of course Justin Timberlake’s photo is better than any headshot I’ve ever taken.”

On June 18, Timberlake was charged with one count of driving while intoxicated and two tickets, one for running a stop sign and one for failure to maintain lane after leaving the American Hotel. According to the source, the singer-songwriter was “hanging out with friends”.

According to his arrest report, obtained by PEOPLE, Timberlake told his arresting officer when he was pulled over, “I had one martini and I followed my friends home.”

After he was arrested, he was taken to police headquarters in Sag Harbor for processing and refused to submit to a chemical test several times, the report said.

The arrest came during a short break on his Forget Tomorrow world tour — and a source told PEOPLE that he plans to continue.

“It’s business as usual for him,” the insider said. “The tour continues as planned.”
