Tony Romo was allegedly uncooperative with cops after his arrest in Wisconsin last week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Court records viewed by The California Post on Monday show the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback<\/a> has been issued one citation for \u201crefusing to take test for intoxication after arrest\u201d stemming from his July 23 run-in with police in Milwaukee.<\/p>\n

A copy of the citation was not made immediately available, and a request seeking comment from Romo\u2019s attorney, Julius Kim, was not returned.<\/p>\n

Romo was pulled over on an interstate shortly after he had completed a round at the Wisconsin Amateur Championship golf tournament<\/a>. The Milwaukee County Sheriff\u2019s Office wrote in an arrest report that the 46-year-old was taken into custody and booked on a charge of operating while intoxicated, first offense after performing poorly on standardized field sobriety tests.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the Milwaukee County District Attorney\u2019s office told The Post on Monday that because of the allegations against Romo, the case is \u201ca traffic violation and not a criminal charge in Wisconsin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Romo, who\u2019s yet to publicly address the arrest, has been given a court date of Sept. 21.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, Romo withdrew from a scheduled appearance<\/a> at the M&P Group Texas State Open, which is slated to begin on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Romo played in the NFL from 2004 to 2016 and in retirement, he signed on to broadcast games for CBS. In 2020, he inked a 10-year deal worth $180 million with the network.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not yet known if CBS has plans to discipline Romo for the arrest.<\/p>\n
