Justin Timberlake's lawyer may be convinced the singer wasn't intoxicated during his DWI arrest ... but new police documents paint a totally different picture of JT's state on June 18.

Per Arkinson's notes, he followed field procedure, as he observed several signs of JT's alleged intoxication ... including the odor of alcohol, glassy eyes, divided attention, and an unsteady foot. Daily Mail was first to report the news.
