In an unexpected turn of events, Justin Timberlake’s mugshot from his DWI arrest last month has become a highly sought-after piece of art. The singer’s arrest in Sag Harbor, New York, has sparked a surge of interest, with his police mugshot now fetching a surprising price tag.

Timberlake’s mugshot becomes a ‘limited-edition piece’
The viral sensation of Timberlake’s mugshot has led artist Godfrey Lohman to transform the image into a “limited edition piece.” Lohman introduced his artwork, titled “Tuesday Night Out featuring Justin Timberlake,” to the Romany Kramoris Gallery. Situated in the very place where Timberlake was arrested after a night out with friends, the gallery plans to showcase the mugshot pieces, each priced at $520, throughout the summer.
