Overview
- Milwaukee deputies stopped Romo on Interstate 43 on July 23 for alleged unsafe passing and lane deviation and then arrested him on suspicion of operating while intoxicated.
- Released body‑worn camera footage shows Romo claiming he had "zero" drinks, struggling on standardized field sobriety tests, and asking to call a lawyer before being detained.
- Romo refused a preliminary breath test at the scene, was cited for refusal, and authorities later sought a warrant to draw and analyze his blood.
- Court records and citations allege an open bottle was found in Romo’s vehicle during an inventory and list fines tied to open container, unsafe passing, and the OWI citation.
- Milwaukee prosecutors say the matter will be treated as a civil traffic violation with modest penalties, Romo has a Sept. 21 court date, CBS has declined comment, and blood results remain pending.
