Tony Romo OWI Arrest: Full Body Cam Footage (Field Sobriety Test & Breathalyzer Refusal) [eQSmtH2RiFO]
Newly released Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office body-cam captures the full OWI (operating while intoxicated) arrest of Tony Romo — the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and CBS lead NFL analyst — after a July 24, 2026 traffic stop at the Marquette interchange in downtown Milwaukee. Romo was pulled over for unsafe passing and crossing the gore. He tells the deputy he's coming from a Wisconsin state amateur golf event and hasn't had a drink. The deputy reports the odor of alcohol and red, bloodshot eyes, and puts Romo through standardized field sobriety tests — the horizontal gaze (eye) test, the walk-and-turn, and the one-leg stand. Romo repeatedly asks for his lawyer, declines the preliminary breath test ("I've heard from all the lawyers, don't ever do that"), and later refuses the evidentiary chemical test, prompting the deputy to explain they'll seek a search warrant for a blood draw. This upload includes both body-cam angles of the stop. Tony Romo has been arrested on suspicion of OWI and cited for refusing chemical testing. He has not been convicted of any crime and is presumed innocent.
