Tony Romo Cited for Refusing Intoxication Test After Milwaukee OWI Stop

The new citation creates a risk of an administrative license suspension that could affect his driving privileges.

Overview

  • Court records and local reports show Tony Romo was stopped and arrested on suspicion of operating while intoxicated after driving on Interstate 43 on July 23.
  • Those same records, reported July 27, say Romo was issued a citation for refusing to take a chemical intoxication test after his arrest.
  • Milwaukee County prosecutors say the matter is being handled as a civil traffic violation under Wisconsin law rather than a criminal charge.
  • Romo withdrew from the M&P Group Texas State Open over the weekend and has not publicly commented while CBS likewise has offered no statement.
  • Next steps include a Sept. 21 court date and potential administrative proceedings to challenge any license suspension under state procedures that can follow a refusal citation.
