Tony Romo, the 46-year-old CBS broadcaster, is facing three additional citations related to his July arrest in Wisconsin. Romo was placed on leave from his role as the network's lead analyst after being pulled over for suspected drunk driving. The original charge was for operating a vehicle while under the influence. However, the amended case now includes additional citations for possessing open intoxicants in a motor vehicle, unsafe passing on the right, and a first-offense operating while intoxicated.
This brings Romo's total citations from the incident to four. CBS Sports president David Berson has not yet announced a timeline for a decision regarding Romo's future with the network. In Romo's absence, JJ Watt will join Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson as part of CBS Sports' lead NFL team during the upcoming season. They are set to begin their duties on September 13 when the Minnesota Vikings host the Green Bay Packers.
During his arrest, Romo failed field sobriety tests and was arrested, booked, and released. A bottle of alcohol was found in the passenger's side of his Jeep during a search prior to it being towed.
