Former NFL quarterback Tony Romo was arrested on Thursday in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on suspicion of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, according to local booking records.
The arrest occurred when a Milwaukee County sheriff's deputy stopped Romo near a highway interchange known as 'the stack.' Following the stop, the report indicates that Romo did not perform satisfactorily on field sobriety tests, leading to his detention.
After being booked and processed, Romo was released. A court appearance has been scheduled for September 21.
Romo, who played for the Dallas Cowboys from 2003 until his retirement in 2016, has since transitioned to a career as the lead NFL analyst for CBS Sports.
As of Friday afternoon, Romo, a resident of Burlington, Wisconsin, had not issued any public comments regarding the incident. This week, he was participating in the Wisconsin Amateur Championship, where he had previously expressed the challenges of the competition, stating, 'This is a true test this week, each area of your game.'
Romo concluded the championship event tied for 73rd place.
