Romo OWI Plea: 10-Year Rule Triggers Mandatory Jail Time

Tony Romo accepted a no-contest plea to OWI in Wisconsin, with a provision that any new drinking-and-driving conviction within 10 years will trigger a mandatory jail sentence. He must install ignition interlocks on all vehicles, pay a fine above $700, have his license suspended for six months, and complete an alcohol assessment; prosecutors dropped the other citations. Romo said the incident stemmed from painkiller dependence after back surgeries and expressed intent to focus on health and a return to CBS.

Three other traffic citations were dismissed, and he must pay $834 in fines by November 2. Romo’s BAC was .15. In a statement, he cited pain and a dependence on alcohol linked to medical treatment, said he is seeking health changes, and asked for privacy as he works toward recovery and a return to CBS.
