TMZ has found video that shows Justin Timberlake cruising down the street in Sag Harbor early Tuesday before he was pulled over by cops and arrested for DWI ... and based on what he told police, it appears he was following some friends who were leading the way.
Check out this footage we tracked down from surveillance cameras in the area ... it captures a black sedan heading south on Main Street -- a block away from the American Hotel, where Justin left moments earlier -- and a second or two later, you see JT's vehicle pop into frame.
The vehicle matches the description cops gave in their police report to a T -- a gray BMW UT -- and you can see Justin was following closely behind on the road ... not necessarily swerving or driving erratically, at least not in this clip anyway.

update
9:03 AM PT -- TMZ has obtained the police report tied to Justin Timberlake's arrest -- and the cops spell out exactly what they say they saw while Justin was on the road. Per the doc, Sag Harbor police say they first spotted Justin after he blew past a stop sign a little more than half a mile away from the American Hotel ... where he left a get-together with friends.
Cops say that's when they started following Justin ... at which point they claim he failed to stay in a straight line on the road -- tailing him for about another half mile before they finally hit the lights. Justin was eventually pulled over at an intersection -- which is in a residential area, mind you -- and at that point, cops say they suspected he was under the influence.
The signs that cops cite for their determination ... bloodshot/glassy eyes, a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his breath, unable to divide attention, slowed speech, unsteady afoot ... and cops go on to say he performed poorly on all field sobriety tests.
