Tony Romo booked on suspicion of impaired driving in Milwaukee

CBS football analyst and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo was arrested Thursday night in Milwaukee on suspicion of intoxicated driving, officials said. Romo, 46, was pulled over on southbound Interstate 43 at about 6:18 p.m. CDT after he “performed poorly” on standardized field sobriety tests, according to Milwaukee County Sheriff’s records. Romo was booked on one count of allegedly operating while intoxicated and released. He was ordered to appear in court on Sept. 21, which would be the Monday night of the NFL’s Week 2. The top CBS matchup of that weekend figures to be the Pittsburgh Steelers visiting the AFC -champion New England Patriots. The stop came just hours after Romo wrapped an interview with NBC affiliate WTMJ, the Milwaukee TV station reported. Romo played in parts of 13 seasons in the NFL, all for the Dallas Cowboys, before seamlessly transitioning to the booth with CBS. He’s one-third of the network’s top NFL broadcast team, alongside play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson. Romo called his third Super Bowl in 2024. It wasn’t immediately clear on Friday if Romo had hired a defense attorney to speak on his behalf. This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.
