Tony Romo takes 'full responsibility' for arrest, spokesperson says
A spokesperson for Tony Romo said the CBS analyst and former quarterback is 'communicating with CBS about next steps' following his Milwaukee arrest.
Tony Romo, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and CBS NFL analyst, has accepted full responsibility for his actions following his arrest in Milwaukee on July 23. In a statement released on August 27, Romo's spokesperson confirmed that the former football star has taken "proactive steps to ensure that this isolated civil matter is properly resolved" and that they are working with local authorities to close the case.
The arrest came after Romo was pulled over on southbound Interstate 43 for allegedly operating a vehicle while intoxicated, and he performed poorly on a field sobriety test. He was cited for four offenses, including first-offense operating while intoxicated, unsafe passing on the right side, and possessing open intoxicants in his vehicle.
CBS had placed Romo on leave following his arrest, and he is due in court on September 21 to address all four citations.
