Details about Tony Romo’s arrest on charges of alleged driving while intoxicated have emerged, with the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback allegedly being uncooperative with law enforcement during the incident.
Records obtained by The California Post showed Romo was issued a citation for “refusing to take a post-arrest intoxication test” during the July 23 incident with police following his appearance at a golf event in Milwaukee.
Romo was stopped on an interstate after his round at the Wisconsin Amateur Championship and he performed poorly on field sobriety tests, FOX6 in Milwaukee reported. He was released and is due in court on September 21.

The California Post added that the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s office said that since Romo’s situation is allegations, the case is considered a traffic violation and not a criminal charge in Wisconsin.
Other information about the arrest was not immediately available. Neither the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office nor CBS immediately responded to emails from Pakinomist Digital.
TONY ROMO’S BRUTAL GOLF SCORE BEFORE YOU WERE ARRESTED PAINTS A NIGHTMARE PICTURE
Romo was scheduled to appear at another golf tournament, the M&P Group Texas State Open, but he withdrew over the weekend.
Romo retired from football in 2017 and soon joined CBS as a color commentator.
He was the Cowboys’ starter from 2006 to 2015, but an injury cost him his spot in 2016 for Dak Prescott. The Cowboys released him after the season and he eventually hung up his cleats.
Romo threw for 34,183 yards, 248 touchdowns and 117 interceptions, completing 65.3% of his passes.

He was named to the Pro Bowl four times and finished third in the 2014 MVP voting behind Aaron Rodgers and JJ Watt – he was tied with DeMarcio Murray.
Romo went 2-4 in the playoffs, famously dropping a snap for a potential game-winning field goal in his first against the Seattle Seahawks. Romo then picked up the ball and tried to run for a touchdown, but was stopped short, giving Seattle the win.
Since retiring, Romo and Jim Nantz have been the main tandem for CBS, calling three Super Bowls, including the Kansas City Chiefs’ overtime victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII.
