Romo Faces New Charges After July Arrest

The update

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has been issued three new citations related to his July arrest in Wisconsin. According to court records, Romo now faces charges including first-offense operating while intoxicated, unsafe passing on the right side, and possessing open intoxicants in his vehicle. A spokesperson for Romo stated that he “takes full responsibility for his actions” and is working with authorities to resolve the matter.

Why it matters

This development adds to Romo’s legal troubles following his July 23 arrest, where he was initially cited for refusing to take an intoxication test. The former NFL star’s professional reputation is now at stake, as CBS placed him on leave following the arrest and has been assessing his future with the network. Romo’s statement about communicating with CBS suggests he’s attempting to navigate his return to the broadcast booth.

What to watch

Romo is scheduled for a court appearance on September 21. The outcome of these citations could impact his broadcasting career, with CBS previously stating there was “no timetable” on his return. The network has made adjustments to its NFL broadcast teams, with J.J. Watt taking Romo’s place alongside Jim Nantz to start the season.
