Tony Romo treating his field sobriety test like an NFL combine leaves fans stunned - Fox News

What the report says

Fox News, carrying an OutKick report, said newly released Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office bodycam video shows former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and current CBS NFL analyst Tony Romo stretching against a police vehicle before taking field sobriety tests after an OWI arrest in Wisconsin last week. The report said Romo had been stopped on a Milwaukee highway for alleged unsafe passing after leaving a golf tournament.

According to the article, Romo told the officer he had not consumed alcohol and asked to call his attorney. After being taken to a nearby station area for testing, the video shows him loosening up before the exercises, with the report noting he referenced past back surgeries. Fox/OutKick described the sobriety tasks as including a walk-and-turn style test and said Romo asked afterward whether he had passed before he was handcuffed.

The report said officers searched the vehicle and referred to finding small liquor bottles, while Romo questioned whether they had been consumed. Fox/OutKick reported that Romo was ultimately cited for first-offense operating while intoxicated and for refusing to submit to a chemical test. He was released and is due in court on Sept. 21, according to the article.

The case is notable because of Romo’s public profile as a former Pro Bowl quarterback and prominent broadcaster, and because bodycam footage may become part of public discussion around the stop and arrest. The cited offenses remain allegations unless and until resolved in court.
