Tony Romo wife and kids in focus as CBS Sports analyst speaks out on DUI arrest: ‘I turn my attention to my family…’
Tony Romo's driving privileges are revoked for six months after pleading no contest to DUI charges.
Tony Romo, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and CBS Sports football analyst, has had his driving privileges suspended for six months following a no contest plea on Tuesday to charges of driving under the influence (DUI). The arrest occurred on July 23 in Milwaukee when Romo was pulled over for a traffic stop. A police officer noted a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on Romo's breath, and he failed field sobriety tests, leading to his arrest.
Initially, Romo refused to take an intoxication test, resulting in three additional citations, including unsafe passing on the right and having open intoxicants. After pleading no contest, he was ordered to install an ignition interlock device on any vehicle he owns or operates and complete an alcohol assessment program. Romo must also pay a $784 fine.
His attorney, Daniel Levin, stated that Romo's addiction to alcohol developed due to the constant, debilitating pain he experienced after multiple back surgeries. Romo, 46, has three sons and is married to Candice Crawford, a Miss Missouri USA 2008 who is also a former journalist and television titleholder.
