Tony Romo questioned police during his July 23 operating while intoxicated arrest in Wisconsin, according to newly released police bodycam footage obtained by Fox News Digital.
The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback told the officer 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 responded, “Because I’m coming from a golf course, you think I’m drunk?”
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 cited for first-offense operating while intoxicated and refusing to submit to a chemical test. Romo was released and is due in court on Sept. 21.
TONY ROMO ALLEGEDLY REFUSED INTOXICATION TEST AFTER OWI ARREST FOLLOWING MILWAUKEE GOLF EVENT: REPORT
CBS did not immediately responded to emails from Fox News Digital following initial news of Romo’s arrest.
Romo was stopped on an interstate following his round at 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 was the Cowboys’ starter from 2006 to 2015, but an injury cost him his spot in 2016 to Dak Prescott. The Cowboys released him after the season, and he eventually hung up the cleats.
Romo threw for 34,183 yards, 248 touchdowns, and 117 interceptions, completing 65.3% of his passes.
TONY ROMO’S BRUTAL GOLF SCORE BEFORE GETTING ARRESTED PAINTS A NIGHTMARISH PICTURE
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 DeMarcio 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.
