Officer Arkinson quoted Timberlake in his report as saying he had ‘one martini’ that night.
Arkinson also quoted Timberlake as saying: "I had one martini and I followed my friends home."
He added the singer was "unable to focus on speaking while looking for vehicle registration".
One of the sobriety tests the report stated Timberlake failed was the walk and turn test, which requires the individual to take nine steps in a straight line while placing their heel in front of their toe before turning back and repeating the process.
Officer Arkinson said during the walk and turn test, Timberlake was "very unbalanced" and "unable to follow instructions correctly".
The second sobriety test conducted during the traffic stop required Timberlake to raise one foot off the ground and hold it for 30 seconds. Arkinson again noted the singer was off-balance during the test – and needed to raise his arms in order to keep steady.
The last test was a prescreen breathalyzer, which Timberlake refused.

Timberlake was said to be unbalanced and unable to follow the officer's instructions during the field sobriety test.
At the police station, Timberlake was asked once again to take a breathalyzer test.
Arkinson wrote the singer refused once more and said: "No, I'm not doing a chemical test."
The singer was read his Miranda rights at 1:26 AM, upon which Arkinson wrote the entertainer declined to speak to his attorney.
Despite the details of the report, the pop star's lawyer previously insisted Timberlake was not intoxicated when he was behind the wheel of his BMW on June 18.
Timberlake was re-arraigned via a virtual hearing last week, during which the judge suspended his driver's license in the state of New York, citing his refusal to take a breathalyzer test.
Timberlake pleaded not guilty to his charges.
