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.

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has admitted he is entirely responsible for his actions during the July 23 incident that resulted in his arrest in Milwaukee. The subsequent citations for operating a vehicle while intoxicated and possessing open alcohol in his vehicle were detailed in a statement released by his spokesperson on August 27.

Romo was pulled over on southbound Interstate 43, and he failed the field sobriety test, according to the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office. He had been in the area to compete in the Wisconsin Amateur Championship golf event in West Bend. CBS has since placed Romo on leave until further notice. Romo is scheduled to appear in court on September 21 to address all four citations.
