Romo’s BAC at arrest hits 0.15 as CBS future hangs in the balance

Tony Romo’s blood-alcohol content was 0.15 at his July Wisconsin arrest, nearly twice the legal limit, with an open bottle found in the vehicle and a refused breath test before a later, measured reading. He’s charged with first-offense operating while intoxicated plus related offenses (unsafe passing on the right, possessing open intoxicants); a Sept. 21 court date is set. CBS has placed Romo on indefinite leave from its top NFL booth, with J.J. Watt temporarily stepping in, while Romo issues a public statement taking responsibility and citing back problems, pain medication dependence, and a focus on health and privacy as his broadcasting future remains uncertain.
