Tony Romo Facing 3 New Citations in OWI Arrest Ahead of Court Case
The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback’s future at CBS Sports as its lead NFL analyst is unknown after his July 23 arrest
Tony Romo, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and CBS Sports analyst, faces three new citations related to his July 23rd arrest for alleged operating while intoxicated (OWI) in Wisconsin. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel first reported the news on Thursday, August 27.
According to court records, Romo was cited for a first offense OWI, unsafe passing on the right side, and possessing open intoxicants inside his vehicle. His spokesperson stated that Romo accepts full responsibility for his actions and is working with local authorities to resolve the matter.
The arrest occurred around 5:30 p.m. on July 23 after Romo was pulled over on Interstate 43 during a golf tournament in his home state. He performed poorly on field sobriety tests and refused a breathalyzer test. Bodycam footage from the scene supports these claims.
Romo was subsequently placed on leave by CBS Sports "until further notice" on July 31, with the network's president, David Berson, stating that the situation is still evolving and there's no timetable for a final decision on Romo's future at the network.
