Justin Timberlake was arrested this week on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, and it was only mere moments before it became a meme.

There's pretty good standing for this meme creation. The police officer who arrested him allegedly didn't know who he was (funny). A source told Page Six that he muttered, "This is going to ruin the tour," to which the cop responded: "What tour?"

"The world tour," Timberlake allegedly responded.

We don't know a ton of details about the arrest. It looks like no one was hurt, and Timberlake told the police that he only had one martini before he went driving. The cop disagreed and said he performed poorly on his field sobriety tests. Timberlake pleaded not guilty, and he'll have to appear in court next month.

Driving under the influence is not a joke. But we should use every opportunity to make fun of Timberlake, the man who has recently come under fire for his treatment of Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Janet Jackson, and other women. And my God, the internet is taking advantage of this moment.

His mugshot has also turned into a meme in its own right.
