Romo faces new OWI charges after Milwaukee arrest

Former Cowboys quarterback and CBS broadcaster Tony Romo faces three new citations following his arrest for operating while intoxicated in Milwaukee.

According to TMZ, authorities have charged Romo with first-offense operating while intoxicated, unsafe passing on the right side, and possessing open intoxicants in his vehicle. The arrest occurred more than a month ago.

Romo was placed on leave by CBS eight days after the incident, and the network has elevated J.J. Watt to replace him on the top broadcast team, likely for the entire season. Romo has four years remaining on his $72 million CBS contract, though the network could attempt to terminate it for cause. newsindata.org
