Tony Romo is facing three charges after his July arrest in Milwaukee County.
Romo, who was arrested on suspicion of operating a vehicle while intoxicated on July 23, faces three charges stemming from that arrest, online court records show: unsafe passing on the right, possessing open intoxicants and operating a vehicle while intoxicated (OWI). All three charges were filed on Thursday, Aug. 27.

The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and CBS NFL analyst was stopped going southbound on I-43 and “performed poorly on SFSTs (standard field sobriety tests).” On July 28, new details emerged as body cam footage surfaced.
The arresting officer indicated that Romo was stopped for “unsafe passing on the right,” and “cutting across the gore,” the former of which is reflected in the citation. An open container was found in the passenger seat of Romo’s vehicle during the stop.
Romo also refused to take a breathalyzer test following the arrest.
Romo has been placed on leave by CBS. On Aug. 11, CBS Sports president David Berson said there’s no timetable for Romo’s return to the broadcast booth.
