Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and current CBS analyst Tony Romo was arrested Thursday night in Wisconsin on suspicion of operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
Romo, 46, was stopped while driving south on I-43 and performed poorly on field sobriety tests, according to an arrest report from the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office. He was arrested, booked and released, with a court appearance scheduled for September 21.
The incident remains under investigation.
This is Romo's first OWI arrest, according to the report. In Wisconsin, a first-time violation is considered a civil infraction with possible fines and driver's license revocation.

Romo went to Burlington High, which is about 35 miles from Milwaukee, and played four seasons at Eastern Illinois before joining the Cowboys as an undrafted rookie in 2004. He spent all 13 of his NFL seasons with the team, making four Pro Bowls and throwing for a team-record 248 touchdowns. His 34,183 passing yards were also a franchise record until Dak Prescott surpassed it last season.
Since 2017, Romo has been the lead game analyst for CBS, with Jim Nantz on play-by-play. They have called three Super Bowls together. The network had no comment on Romo's arrest.
