Romo Faces Three New Citations in Wisconsin DUI Arrest

6 sourcesUpdated Aug 31, 2026

Tony Romo, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and CBS Sports lead NFL analyst, has been issued three additional citations tied to his July Wisconsin DUI arrest, including first-offense operating while intoxicated, unsafe passing on the right, and possessing open intoxicants in a vehicle. The amended case adds to earlier charges, including a citation for refusing a chemical test, and comes as Romo remains suspended from CBS with no timeframe set for his return. Reports describe Romo’s arrest after a traffic stop on Interstate 43, where field sobriety tests reportedly indicated impairment and an open bottle was found in his vehicle. Body camera footage released this week shows Romo telling deputies he was coming from a golf course and en route to visit family, with officers noting red eyes and an odor of alcohol. CBS and network officials have indicated ongoing review without a firm timetable for reinstatement, while Romo has acknowledged responsibility for his actions. The incident has dominated headlines as Romo’s professional status remains unresolved while legal proceedings continue.
