Tony Romo allegedly refused intoxication test after OWI arrest following Milwaukee golf event: report
Reports indicate former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo was arrested on charges related to operating while intoxicated last week. The incident occurred in Milwaukee on July 23 following his participation in the Wisconsin Amateur Championship. Law enforcement officers stopped Romo on an interstate after he performed poorly on field sobriety tests.
According to records, Romo was issued a citation for refusing to take a chemical test for intoxication at the time of the arrest. Sources close to the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s office suggest that because this incident is categorized under current allegations, the case is handled as a traffic violation rather than a criminal charge under state law.
Following the arrest, Romo withdrew from his scheduled appearance at the M&P Group Texas State Open in order to manage personal matters. He is currently scheduled for a court appearance on September 21. Neither Romo nor representatives from CBS have provided a formal comment regarding the situation.
Before his career in broadcasting, Romo played for the Dallas Cowboys from 2006 to 2015. He finished his professional football career with 248 touchdowns and four Pro Bowl selections. He transitioned into the media industry in 2017 after his release from the Cowboys and now serves as a high-profile color commentator.
