Police were not immediately available for comment.
Sag Harbor is a coastal village in the Hamptons, around 160 kilometres (100 miles) from New York City. In the summer, it is a hotspot for wealthy visitors.
Timberlake was taken into custody after he left a dinner at the American Hotel, People Magazine reported.
A young Timberlake was a Disney Mouseketeer, where his castmates included future girlfriend Britney Spears. He rose to fame in the popular boy band NSYNC and embarked on a solo recording career in 2002. As an actor, Timberlake has won acclaim in films including The Social Network and Friends With Benefits.
He has won 10 Grammy Awards and four Primetime Emmy Awards.
Last year, Timberlake was in the headlines when Spears released her memoir, The Woman in Me. Several chapters are devoted to their relationship, including deeply personal details about a pregnancy, abortion and painful break-up. In March, he released his first new album in six years, the nostalgic Everything I Thought It Was, a return to his familiar future funk sound.
Timberlake has two coming shows in Chicago on Friday and Saturday, then is scheduled for New York’s Madison Square Garden next week on Tuesday and Wednesday.
