Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and CBS Sports analyst Tony Romo is facing three additional citations stemming from his July arrest in Wisconsin, adding another development to a case that has already temporarily removed him from one of the NFL’s most prominent broadcast booths.

Milwaukee County court records filed Aug. 27 show Romo was cited for first-offense operating while intoxicated, unsafe passing on the right and possessing open intoxicants. The three citations come in addition to an earlier citation for refusing to take an intoxication test following the July traffic stop.

Romo is scheduled to appear in court Sept. 21 in connection with the citations.

The case dates back to July 23, when a Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office deputy stopped Romo while he was driving southbound on Interstate 43. According to authorities, the former quarterback was observed allegedly passing vehicles through a gore area, the section of roadway separating interstate traffic from vehicles entering from an on-ramp.

Authorities said Romo displayed signs that led the deputy to suspect impairment. According to the sheriff’s office, the deputy reported that Romo had red, glassy eyes and smelled of alcohol. Romo initially said he had not been drinking before later acknowledging that he had consumed at least one alcoholic beverage.

Romo then participated in standardized field sobriety testing. Authorities said he performed poorly on the tests and was subsequently taken into custody on suspicion of operating while intoxicated. He was booked into the Milwaukee County Jail and later released.

The stop attracted additional attention after body-camera footage showing Romo’s interaction with deputies and portions of the field sobriety testing became public.

Open Alcohol Container Found in Vehicle

Authorities later disclosed another detail from the traffic stop: an open bottle of alcohol was found inside Romo’s vehicle.

According to one of the citations released by the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office, deputies discovered an “open bottle of an alcoholic beverage” on the passenger side of Romo’s black Jeep while conducting an inventory before the vehicle was towed.

Authorities also obtained a warrant for a blood sample and chemical analysis following the stop. As of the Aug. 27 citations, the results of that testing had not been publicly disclosed.

The newly filed citations now formally include the alleged open-container and driving violations alongside the OWI citation.

It is important to note that the citations are allegations in an ongoing civil traffic case at this stage. Romo has not been convicted based on the newly filed citations.

CBS Sports Put Romo on Leave

The consequences of the arrest have extended beyond the court system.

CBS Sports announced July 31 that Romo was being placed on leave from his role as the network’s lead NFL game analyst “until further notice.”

Romo has been part of CBS Sports’ lead NFL broadcast team since 2017, working alongside play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson after retiring from the Dallas Cowboys.

With Romo away from the booth, CBS moved former NFL defensive star J.J. Watt onto its lead broadcast team alongside Nantz and Wolfson. Watt had already been working as an NFL game analyst for the network before being elevated during Romo’s absence.

CBS Sports president David Berson said in August that the network did not have a timeline for determining Romo’s future.

“It’s an evolving situation, and therefore we’re still assessing,” Berson told reporters.

Berson said CBS had to consider the impact of the situation on the network’s image and brand, explaining that the focus surrounding its NFL broadcasts needed to remain on the games rather than outside circumstances involving one of its commentators.

Romo Says He Accepts Responsibility

Following the filing of the three additional citations, TMZ reported through Romo’s representatives that the former quarterback “accepts full responsibility for his actions” and is working with local authorities to resolve the matter. His team was also said to be communicating with CBS regarding the situation and his eventual next steps. CBS Texas subsequently reported the statement while detailing the newly filed citations.

For Romo, the legal case arrives nearly a decade after he transitioned from the field to television.

The 46-year-old spent his entire NFL playing career with the Dallas Cowboys, becoming a four-time Pro Bowl quarterback before retiring following the 2016 season. He moved directly into broadcasting and quickly became one of CBS Sports’ most recognizable NFL analysts.

Now his immediate broadcasting future remains unsettled while the Wisconsin case moves forward.

With the three citations filed Aug. 27, Romo is facing four citations connected to the July traffic stop: operating while intoxicated, unsafe passing on the right, possession of open intoxicants and refusal to submit to an intoxication test.

His next scheduled step is a Sept. 21 court appearance.
