Tony Romo reportedly was arrested for driving under the influence Thursday night in Milwaukee County, The Post has confirmed.
Per the arrest-detention report, Romo was stopped on the road around 8 p.m. while driving southbound on I-43 and failed to pass standard field sobriety tests.
Then the former Cowboys quarterback and member of CBS’ NFL broadcast team was taken into custody for OWI book and release.
It’s not yet known what type of vehicle Romo was driving.
Per the report, he was given a court date of Sept. 21.
The police said that the statement remains “under investigation” and a further statement could come later on Friday.
The incident occurred close to Burlington, where Romo grew up and graduated from Burlington High School.
He was the first student athlete at the school to be named all-state in three sports — football, basketball and golf.
The Burlington Area School District later named a field after Romo in February 2020.
Romo was seemingly back in the area for the Wisconsin State Amateur.
“I’m competitive in both, I’m just better at football,” he said on the links to TMJ4 News on Thursday. “It’s the challenge of it. It’s as tough as your gonna play.”
Romo finished 35-over at the tournament — 32 shots behind the winner.
A first-offense OWI in Wisconsin is typically a civil offense and not a criminal charge.
It typically carries a fine ranging from $150-$300.
This fall, Romo will be entering his 10th season calling NFL games for CBS.
After going undrafted in the 2003 NFL Draft out of Eastern Illinois University, he went on to play 13 seasons with the Cowboys that included four Pro Bowl nods.
The furthest he took Dallas into the playoffs was the NFL Divisional round, falling short of an NFC Championship game and a Super Bowl appearance.
Romo retired in 2017 and joined CBS as a color analyst in April of that year.
CBS has not responded to The Post’s request for comment.
