Tony Romo was booked on July 23 in Milwaukee County on a charge of operating while under the influence and is scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 21.
Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo was taken into custody in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, on the evening of July 23. Police records show he was stopped while traveling southbound on Interstate 43 and performed poorly on standard field sobriety tests, leading to a charge of operating while under the influence (OWI).
The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office booked Romo at 6:18 p.m. Central Time and released him at 11:01 p.m. The arrest-detention report indicates this would be his first OWI charge. Romo, who now serves as a CBS Sports analyst for NFL coverage, has a court appearance scheduled for 8:30 a.m. CT on Sept. 21.
"Romo was stopped going southbound on I-43 and performed poorly on SFSTs (standard field sobriety tests)," the arrest report states.
