Former NFL quarterback Tony Romo was arrested in Wisconsin, police say. Authorities told reporters an open alcoholic beverage was present in his vehicle and they issued an open-container citation following the stop.

Arrest and citation details

Police statements indicate officers found an open alcoholic beverage in Romo’s car at the time of the arrest and issued an open-container citation. Reports do not establish additional confirmed charges from the stop; police description of the incident centers on the open container violation.

Video published or reviewed

At least one news outlet and authorities published or reviewed body-camera footage of the encounter, according to reporting. The released footage has been cited by outlets covering the incident but the content has not been characterized here beyond confirmation that such video exists.

Available reports identify the arrest and the open-container citation as the primary, confirmed developments. It was not immediately clear from those reports whether prosecutors filed other charges or whether any court proceedings were scheduled. Journalists and officials covering the case described the citation and the existence of body-camera footage as the key documented elements.

The reporting reviewed for these confirmed details did not provide a public statement from Romo or his representatives in the material attributed to the police and news outlets. Further updates from law enforcement or court records would be needed to confirm any additional allegations or legal outcomes.
