Overview
- Romo was pulled over while driving southbound on Interstate 43 and was arrested after deputies say he performed poorly on standardized field sobriety tests, according to a Milwaukee County arrest report that describes the stop on Thursday.
- He was booked and released the same night and has a court appearance scheduled for Sept. 21 in Milwaukee County.
- The public arrest-detention record and multiple outlets show this is his first known OWI and a mugshot from the booking was released.
- Under Wisconsin law a first-offense OWI is generally handled as a civil violation that typically carries a forfeiture of about $150–$300 plus surcharges and possible short-term license sanctions, though breath or blood-test results and any formal criminal charges have not been reported.
- Romo had been in the state to play in the Wisconsin Amateur golf tournament, CBS has not commented, and the case could affect his reputation or scheduling as the network approaches the NFL season.
