CBS football analyst and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo was arrested Thursday night in Milwaukee on suspicion of intoxicated driving, officials said.

Romo was booked on one count of allegedly operating while intoxicated and released. He was ordered to appear in court on Sept. 21, which would be the Monday night of the NFL’s Week 2. The top CBS matchup of that weekend figures to be the Pittsburgh Steelers visiting the AFC -champion New England Patriots.
