Tony Romo was found guilty of his OWI charge, which he pleaded no contest to in a Wisconsin court on Tuesday.

Page Six can confirm the court revoked Romo’s driving privileges for six months and ordered an ignition interlock device be installed on any car registered to him.

He has also been ordered to complete the Alcohol Assessment Program, and pay $784 for court costs and a $50 fine. Romo can lose his license for up to 1 year if he fails to pay the amount.

The unsafe passing on right and possession of open intoxicants charges have been dismissed.

Romo, 46, released a statement on Instagram Tuesday about his no contest plea, which he called “a personal failure.”

The retired NFL star explained that “multiple back surgeries ended my career earlier than I expected and left me with constant, debilitating pain,” which “led to a dependence on pain medication, and my efforts to get off those medications led to an over-reliance on alcohol.”

“As I have taught my three young sons: when you fall short, you stand up and take full responsibility,” Romo continued. “That is an important first step. The harder and more important step is examining the path that brought you here and making the changes necessary to move forward.That path requires honesty.”

The former Dallas Cowboy owned up to his “failures” and noted that the past month has been “difficult” but also “personally significant” for him, because it’s “required me to confront and own my mistakes fully—to the Lord, to myself, to my family, and now to the public.”

Romo also revealed he’s “working closely with a team of doctors to address my health and make the necessary changes.”

“I am deeply grateful for the support of my family, my friends, and the NFL community including players, coaches, and owners,” he said. “Your encouragement has meant more to me than you know.”

At the end of his statement, Romo asked “for privacy” as he turns his attention “to my health, my family, and, in time, my return to CBS.”

On July 23, Romo was pulled over by a Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office deputy for “unsafe passing” while he was driving southbound I-43 on the high-rise bridge.

The ex-athlete seemed confused by the traffic stop and said he was on his way to his grandparents’ house after spending the day at a golf course.

The arresting deputy told Romo he was under investigation for OWI “based on [his] driving and where [he was] coming from” as well as his “red, glassy eyes and the odor of an intoxicating alcoholic beverage on [his] breath.”

While Romo insisted he had “zero” alcoholic beverages, the deputy said they found “a few shooters” in his backpack and an “open bottle of an alcoholic beverage” on the passenger side of his car.

Romo was then taken to the station, where he struggled through a field sobriety test.

In bodycam footage, deputies asked Romo whether he’d submit to a breathalyzer, to which he responded, “Oh, no, we’re not doing that. I already heard from all the lawyers don’t ever do that.”

He added, “Like I said, I want my lawyer — for the eighth time.”

Following his arrest, Romo was booked and released shortly after.

He was later placed “on leave” from his gig as CBS’ lead NFL game analyst.

However, Romo teased his return to the network last week, with his rep telling TMZ that they are “communicating with CBS about next steps.”
