Justin Timberlake is headed back to the Hamptons after reaching a plea agreement in his DWI case.

The Grammy winner will be attending his Friday court hearing in person after reaching the agreement, a spokesperson for the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office told NBC News on Wednesday.

The hearing will take place at the Sag Harbor Village Justice Court on Long Island in New York, and Timberlake will be entering a plea in connection to his June arrest when he was pulled over for allegedly driving while intoxicated.

Details of the plea agreement and what plea Timberlake will enter are unclear. NBC News has reached out to his attorney for comment.

Timberlake, 43, was pulled over on June 18 after allegedly driving through a stop sign in the affluent Hamptons area of Long Island a little after 12:15 a.m. ET. The "Cry Me A River" singer was arrested after failing his field sobriety test and released hours later after his arraignment. At the time he pleaded not guilty.

According to the complaint, Sag Harbor Village police officer Michael Arkinson said that, although Timberlake stated he only had "one martini," his "eyes were bloodshot and glassy, a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath, he was unable to divide attention, he had slowed speech, he was unsteady afoot."

Timberlake's attorney, Edward Burke Jr., said at the time that he would be "vigorously defending" the singer.

During the singer's court appearance last month, he appeared virtually from his Belgium tour stop. The judge suspended his license and also admonished Burke Jr. for “irresponsible” comments made over the summer in which he criticized law enforcement.
