Tony Romo, former Cowboys quarterback and CBS analyst, was arrested Thursday in Milwaukee for suspicion of operating while intoxicated. Reports indicate that Romo refused to submit to breath testing after his arrest. He was cited for this refusal, which in Wisconsin can lead to a one-year revocation of driving privileges and the installation of an ignition interlock device. A representative from the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s office confirmed that the case is a traffic violation and not a criminal charge. Romo was in the area for a golf tournament but has withdrawn from the Texas State Open scheduled to begin Tuesday.
