Air Mail: The Hamptons’ Mr. Fixit

On a Tuesday night in mid-June, Justin Timberlake found himself at Sag Harbor’s American Hotel, on Main Street, enjoying what the singer described as a “one martini” dinner, although a witness told the New York Post that Timberlake was “wasted” and “drinking other people’s drinks.”

After the dinner, Timberlake got into his 2025 BMW and was then twice pulled over by Michael Arkinson, a 24-year-old Sag Harbor Village cop: the first time for weaving in and out of traffic; the second, for rolling through a stop sign. Unsteady on his feet, Timberlake refused to take a Breathalyzer, so Arkinson arrested him, and the singer spent the night toggling between holding cells in Sag Harbor and nearby Wainscott. Timberlake has pleaded not guilty.

In the aftermath of Timberlake’s arrest, Main Street began attracting tourists keen on big nameSchadenfreude.The American Hotel is just a few hundred feet from the village police station whereTimberlake was arraigned, and just opposite the Romany Kramoris Gallery, where you can buy a Pop-artversion of the pop star’s mug shot for $520. However, most visitors don’t notice the gold-lettered office doorjust across the street from the hotel, which belongs to Edward Burke Jr.
