According to the police report, Romo performed poorly on standardized field sobriety tests and was released at approximately 11 p.m. A citation issued by the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office noted an open bottle of an alcoholic beverage was found in the passenger side during an inventory of Romo’s vehicle.
