Tony Romo, a former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and current CBS NFL analyst, was arrested this week in Milwaukee on suspicion of operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Deputies in the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office said Romo was pulled over just after 6pm Tuesday on an interstate and failed a field sobriety test, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Romo, who went to high school in nearby Burlington, is due in court on Sept. 21, per the AP. A first OWI offense typically is a noncriminal violation that results in a fine, per the Journal.
