Tony Romo also cited for open container in vehicle as drunk-driving arrest saga continues

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo was also cited for possessing an open container in his vehicle during his operating while intoxicated arrest in Wisconsin last week.

Fox News Digital obtained the three citations issued to Romo, which included “possess open intoxicants in MV-Driver” after an “open bottle of an alcoholic beverage was observed on the passenger side of the vehicle.”

An inventory of the vehicle was conducted as the 2020 Jeep was set to be towed.

Romo was also cited for operating while under the influence and unsafe passing on the right. He is scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 21.

Police bodycam was also made available to Fox News Digital from the arrest, in which Romo told police he was coming from a golf course and insisted he had consumed “zero” drinks before asking to call his attorney.

When asked to step out of the vehicle, Romo was heard saying, “Because I’m coming from a golf course, you think I’m drunk?”

Romo, who was seemingly recording his own video of the incident on his phone, walked to the back of his car, placed down his phone with the camera facing him and was arrested shortly after.

Police detained Romo and transported him to a nearby station to conduct field sobriety tests. The arresting officer said she observed red, glassy eyes and smelled alcohol coming from Romo.

After completing the tests, Romo refused to take a breath test, telling the officer, “I’ve heard from all the lawyers don’t ever do that.”

Romo was driving after playing his round in the Wisconsin Amateur Golf Championship. He was set to appear at another golf tournament, the M&P Group Texas State Open, but he withdrew over the weekend.

Romo retired from football in 2017 and soon joined CBS as a color commentator. He threw for 34,183 yards, 248 touchdowns and 117 interceptions, completing 65.3% of his passes during his career.

He was named to the Pro Bowl four times and finished tied for third in the MVP vote in 2014 behind Aaron Rodgers and J.J. Watt — he was tied with DeMarco Murray.

Romo went 2-4 in the playoffs, famously dropping a snap for a potential game-winning field goal in his first against the Seattle Seahawks. Romo then picked up the ball and tried to run for a touchdown but was stopped short, giving Seattle the win.

Since retiring, Romo and Jim Nantz have been the main tandem for CBS, calling three Super Bowls, including the Kansas City Chiefs’ overtime win over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII.

Romo has yet to comment on his arrest.
