Tony Romo arrested for OWI in Milwaukee
On July 23, former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and CBS NFL analyst Tony Romo was arrested on suspicion of operating while intoxicated (OWI) near downtown Milwaukee. Deputies stopped his vehicle on Interstate 43 near the Marquette Interchange, observed signs of impairment, administered field‑sobriety tests, and took him into custody. He was booked at the Milwaukee County jail and released about an hour later.
Romo was in the area to compete in the 125th Wisconsin State Amateur Championship in West Bend, where he finished tied for 73rd. He and his representatives have not commented, and CBS declined to comment on the legal matter. He is scheduled to appear in court on September 21; a first‑offense OWI in Wisconsin carries a fine of $150‑$300 and possible driver‑license sanctions.
Media coverage also referenced Romo’s personal life, noting his wife, journalist Candice Crawford Romo, and her brother, actor Chace Crawford, though neither has issued a public statement.
