Tony Romo OWI arrest in Milwaukee, faces 3 new citations
Court records say Romo was cited for first-offense OWI, unsafe passing and open intoxicants after his Milwaukee arrest.
- On Thursday, prosecutors filed three new citations against former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, including first-offense operating while intoxicated, possessing open intoxicants, and unsafe passing on the right.
- The charges stem from Romo's July 23 arrest after deputies pulled him over on I-43. The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office reported the former NFL star performed poorly on standardized field sobriety tests.
- CBS Sports placed Romo on leave "until further notice" following the incident. The network named J.J. Watt to join Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson as the lead broadcast team, with Romo previously signed to a 10-year, $180 million contract.
- Romo accepted "full responsibility for his actions" on Thursday through a spokesperson, stating he is working with local authorities to resolve the matter. He is scheduled for a court appearance on Sept. 21.
- CBS Sports president David Berson confirmed the network has no immediate return plans, describing Romo's situation as "evolving." The former Pro Bowl selection remains under a contract running through the 2030 season.
