Overview
- Court records show three additional citations were filed for Romo on Thursday for first‑offense operating while intoxicated, unsafe passing on the right and possessing open intoxicants in his vehicle.
- Romo’s spokesperson said he “accepts full responsibility” and is working with local authorities while communicating with CBS about next steps.
- CBS placed Romo on indefinite leave after the July 23 stop and has promoted J.J. Watt into the network’s top NFL booth to begin the season.
- Under Wisconsin law a first‑offense OWI is typically handled as a civil matter that can carry fines and short driving penalties, and Romo is due in Milwaukee court on Sept. 21 to answer the four citations.
- The added charges sharpen contract and reputational questions for CBS, which reportedly still owes Romo about $72 million and may consider an industry‑standard morals clause or private negotiations depending on the court outcome and any test results.
