MILWAUKEE -- Newly released body camera video is giving a first look at the arrest of former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo in Milwaukee.

The video shows Romo declining blowing into a machine to test his blood alcohol content and instead performing field sobriety tests.

Wisconsin deputies arrested Romo Thursday on suspicion of operating while intoxicated last week.

They say he was speeding and passing other cars, during rush hour traffic in the Marquette interchange.

He told them he was heading from the golf course, to visit his grandparents.



He grew up in Burlington, Wisconsin.

Romo spent 14 years as a quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. He joined the Cowboys in 2003 after signing as an undrafted free agent. He was named the starting quarterback for the team in 2006 and led the Cowboys to six playoff appearances.
