Romo Pleads No Contest in Wisconsin OWI

Tony Romo pleaded no contest to a civil operating-while-intoxicated charge in Wisconsin stemming from the July traffic stop. His driving privileges were revoked for six months and he must complete an alcohol assessment and install an ignition interlock device. He attributed the incident to dependence on pain medication from NFL injuries and said alcohol became a coping mechanism, taking responsibility. Romo said he intends to focus on health and family and there is talk of a potential return to CBS, though he remains on indefinite leave and CBS has not set a timeline. Authorities added citations for open intoxicants, unsafe passing, and the initial refusal to test, reinforcing the legal developments. The case has sparked broader discussion about Romo’s return to CBS and the terms under which he might resume his role, with networks reviewing the situation.
