Overview
- Romo was stopped on Interstate 43 on July 23 after a round of golf, performed poorly on standardized field sobriety tests and was booked and released that night.
- Milwaukee County court records say he was cited for refusing to take a test for intoxication, paid a $35 fine and has a Sept. 21 hearing to contest any license loss.
- Released police body‑camera footage shows Romo questioning officers about calling a lawyer, completing several sobriety exercises and declining a preliminary breath test.
- The Milwaukee County District Attorney’s office has classified the matter as a civil traffic violation under Wisconsin law rather than a criminal case.
- CBS has not issued an official statement and media reports that cite anonymous sources say the network does not plan to fire him while he withdraws from a golf event and may limit public appearances.
