"There was no accident," Burke said. "No one was hurt."

Timberlake was released without bail, Burke said.
A report by PIX11 as well as a number of media outlets said that court documents revealed Timberlake told police: "I had one martini and I followed my friends home."

NBC reported that Timberlake had dined at the iconic American Hotel and was headed to a friend's house when he was pulled over by police.
A representative for Timberlake could not immediately be reached.
