This isn’t the kind of news any NFL player, past or present, ever wants to make in the offseason.
According to multiple reports, former Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback and CBS Sports lead color analyst Tony Romo was arrested on Thursday in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for OWI — operating a vehicle while under the influence.
“Former Cowboys QB and CBS announcer Tony Romo was arrested overnight in Milwaukee on suspicion of operating while under the influence,” The 33rd Team’s Ari Meirov wrote on his official X account on Friday. “Romo was pulled over yesterday around 8 pm and taken into custody after performing poorly on standard field sobriety tests. He’s due in court on Sept. 21.”
Romo played for the Cowboys from 2003 to 2016, where he was a 4-time Pro Bowl selection and earned NFL All-Pro honors in 2014.
From TMZ: “Tony Romo has been arrested for operating a vehicle while under the influence … TMZ has confirmed. The former Cowboys QB was jailed in Milwaukee Thursday night … The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office states Romo was pulled over on a high-rise bridge while going southbound on I-43. He was taken into custody after they say he performed poorly on several field sobriety tests. Romo’s slightly smiling for the camera in his mug shot … seemingly unconcerned by his predicament. Romo is married with three kids. This is his first arrest.”
