Tony Romo, the retired Dallas Cowboys quarterback turned CBS sports commentator, faces a citation for allegedly refusing to submit to an intoxication test following his arrest on July 23 near Milwaukee. Law enforcement records obtained by The California Post indicate the former NFL player was issued the citation during a traffic stop on an interstate after competing in the Wisconsin Amateur Championship golf tournament.
According to reporting by FOX6 Milwaukee, Romo was stopped following his round at the golf event and performed poorly on field sobriety tests administered by police. The Milwaukee County District Attorney’s office classified the matter as a traffic violation rather than a criminal charge under Wisconsin law, pending the resolution of allegations against him. Romo was released and scheduled to appear in court on September 21.
The incident prompted Romo’s withdrawal from the M&P Group Texas State Open golf tournament over the weekend. The 44-year-old has not publicly addressed the arrest or the charges, according to available reports. Neither the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office nor Romo’s representatives immediately responded to inquiries from news outlets.
Romo retired from professional football in 2017 and transitioned to broadcast journalism, becoming CBS’s lead color commentator alongside play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz. During his 10-season career with Dallas from 2006 to 2015, he compiled 34,183 passing yards, 248 touchdowns, and 117 interceptions while completing 65.3% of his passes. He earned four Pro Bowl selections and finished tied for third in the 2014 MVP voting behind Aaron Rodgers and J.J. Watt.
