Justin Timberlake has reached a plea deal to bring his drink-driving case in the US to an end.

The pop star, who was originally charged with driving while intoxicated, has appeared in court in New York state, where he pleaded guilty to the less serious traffic offence of driving while impaired, which is non-criminal.

Timberlake has been ordered to pay a US$500 (FJ$1107.95) fine with a US$260 (FJ$576.13) surcharge, do 25 hours of community service and make a public safety announcement outside court.

The 10-time Grammy winner was arrested on the 18th of June for going through a stop sign and failing to stay on the right side of the road in the Hamptons, a popular holiday destination for celebrities in New York.

When officers pulled him over, Timberlake's eyes were "bloodshot and glassy", and a "strong odour of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath", according to a charging document.

Police say he refused a breathalyser test and performed poorly on sobriety tests.
