Tony Romo was cited for allegedly refusing an intoxication test following his Wisconsin OWI arrest
According to court records as discussed by TMZ, Romo received a citation for “Refuse to Take Test for Intoxication After Arrest.” The citation followed his traffic stop in Wisconsin on July 23. The development could now create additional legal complications for the former NFL star.
Police reportedly said Romo performed poorly during sobriety exercises. Authorities apparently gave him an opportunity to take a breathalyzer or another chemical test. However, the former quarterback allegedly declined the test, according to the report.
Romo now faces a legal process that could affect his driving privileges. He reportedly had 10 days to request a hearing challenging the potential suspension. Court records indicate that he has already requested the hearing.
The former quarterback could reportedly lose his driver’s license for up to one year. The upcoming hearing will determine whether he can retain his driving privileges. Romo has not publicly addressed the alleged test refusal or the potential suspension.
The latest development follows Romo’s recent OWI arrest in Wisconsin. Following that incident, he withdrew from the M&P Group Texas State Open. The tournament was an event he had regularly attended over the years.
Romo’s withdrawal also led to the cancellation of a scheduled question-and-answer session. The former Cowboys quarterback has remained largely private about the situation. He has not publicly commented on his recent legal troubles.
Before his encounter with police, Romo participated in another golf competition. He competed in the Wisconsin Amateur Championship before the traffic stop. The former NFL player has continued pursuing golf since retiring from professional football.
Romo remains a prominent figure in sports broadcasting. He currently works as a lead NFL color analyst for CBS. The latest legal proceedings could now add another complication to his already publicised Wisconsin arrest.
