Romo, who is now the NFL on CBS lead game analyst, was arrested after his first offense of Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) — Wisconsin’s term for a DUI. Romo was stopped by officers while driving on southbound Interstate 43 on a bridge, and failed the field sobriety tests, Fox6 News reported. He has since been released.
Romo’s court date is scheduled for September 21.
Wisconsin usually lists the first-offense OWI as a civil charge that carries a fine from $150 to $300, and it is not a criminal charge, ABC’s Milwaukee affiliate WISN reported.
Romo’s rise in the NFL was an underdog story, going from an undrafted free agent to a star quarterback that broke the Dallas Cowboys’ records for passing yards (34,183) and passing touchdowns (248).
Romo was selected to the Pro Bowl four times and is now part of CBS’ lead NFL broadcast team.
After retiring from playing football, Romo became CBS’ lead game analyst, calling NFL games alongside Jim Nantz since 2017.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
