Overview
- Law enforcement in Milwaukee took Tony Romo into custody on suspicion of operating while intoxicated after a traffic stop, with multiple reports saying he performed poorly on standardized field sobriety tests.
- The detention and booking records show Romo was processed at county jail the same night and released hours later, and reporting identifies this as a first-known OWI.
- Romo quietly withdrew from the 56th M&P Group Texas State Open at Cascades Country Club, which said it was disappointed he would not attend the tournament.
- Media outlets report Romo competed earlier that day in the Wisconsin Amateur before the stop, and a court date in the matter is scheduled for Sept. 21.
- CBS has not issued a public comment, and the case prompts immediate questions about his summer and fall broadcast duties plus potential reputational fallout under Wisconsin’s usual first-offense OWI rules.
