Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo was arrested for OWI, first offense, in Milwaukee on Thursday night, July 23.
According to the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office, Romo was stopped on the high-rise bridge while driving south on I-43. An arrest detention report said he was taken into custody after he performed poorly on standardized field sobriety tests.
Police went on to say that Romo refused to take a breathalyzer after failing the field sobriety tests.

The deputy said Romo was taken to the Milwaukee County Jail, where Romo “performed poorly” on a standardized field sobriety test and refused a preliminary breath test. The search warrant said during the sobriety test Romo could not keep his balance, stopped walking, started too soon, missed the heel to toe, and made an improper turn.
The Daily Mail spoke with several sources at CBS who do not believe Romo’s job is in jeopardy due to the arrest.

One source told the Daily Mail: ‘He might step back a little, short term, but he isn’t going anywhere long term. That wouldn’t make any sense for us at all.’
A CBS executive added: ‘I don’t want to act like it’s not a big deal, because it is. But it’s not going to get him fired.’
Interestingly, CBS isn’t considering firing Romo even though he has 4 years and $72 million left in his contract.
