Romo pleads no contest in Wisconsin OWI case, vows accountability and comeback

Former Cowboys QB Tony Romo faced three charges after a Wisconsin OWI arrest; two charges (unsafe passing on the right and open intoxicants) were dismissed, and he pleaded no contest to a civil offense, resulting in a six‑month license revocation, a required Alcohol Assessment Program, and fines totaling $834, plus an ignition interlock device for at least one year after his license is reissued. Romo posted an Instagram statement taking responsibility, citing past back surgeries, pain medication use, and a dependence on alcohol, and said he is focusing on health and a return to CBS, with J.J. Watt temporarily taking over his broadcast duties during the leave.
