Romo, 46, was pulled over on southbound Interstate 43 at about 6:18 p.m. CT after he \u201cperformed poorly\u201d on standardized field sobriety tests, according to Milwaukee County Sheriff\u2019s records.
Romo was booked on one count of allegedly operating while intoxicated<\/a> and released.
He was ordered to appear in court on Sept. 21, which would be the Monday night of the NFL\u2019s Week 2<\/a>. The top CBS matchup of that weekend figures to be the Pittsburgh Steelers visiting the AFC -champion New England Patriots.
The stop came just hours after Romo wrapped up a golf course interview with NBC affiliate WTMJ, the Milwaukee TV station reported<\/a>.
Romo was back in town to play in the Wisconsin Amateur Championship <\/a>at the West Bend Country Club. He shot a four-round total of 319, good for a 73rd place tie, 32 strokes back of tournament champ Spencer Turtz<\/a>.
A cheerful Romo said he takes golf seriously, but appreciates that spinning a football was and probably still is his better skill.
\u201cI\u2019m competitive in both,\u201d Romo told the station. \u201cI am just better at football. But I think we\u2019re gaining strides.\u201d
Romo played in parts of 13 seasons<\/a> in the NFL, all for the Dallas Cowboys, before seamlessly transitioning to the booth with CBS<\/a>.
He\u2019s one-third of the network\u2019s top NFL broadcast team, alongside play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson. Romo called his third Super Bowl in 2024.
Romo said he respects the passion of NFL fans and hopes to add to their enjoyment every Sunday.
\u201cFor me, it is always making the viewer learn something or enjoy the telecast,\u201d Romo told TMJ4 sports director <\/em>Karley Marotta. \u201cIt\u2019s their team. This is a huge deal. I always want them to understand, I get that.\u201d
It wasn\u2019t immediately clear Friday whether Romo had hired a defense attorney to speak on his behalf.
A representative for CBS Sports declined comment Friday.
