MILWAUKEE (AP) — CBS NFL ****** yst and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo had an open container of alcohol in his vehicle when he was stopped by police last week and later arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, authorities said.
According to one of three citations released by the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office, the "open bottle of an alcoholic beverage" was discovered in the passenger's side of Romo's black Jeep during an inventory before it was towed.
Another citation said police stopped Romo on Interstate 43 on July 23 after he was seen passing cars in a gore area, which separates interstate traffic from cars entering from an on-ramp. Police said Romo questioned what a gore area was during the stop.
Romo performed poorly on field sobriety tests and was taken into custody, booked and released. Court records show Romo was later cited for refusing "to take test for intoxication after arrest." He has a court appearance scheduled for Sept. 21.
According to body camera footage released earlier this week, Romo told deputies he had been coming from a golf course and was on his way "to visit grandma and grandpa" when he was stopped.

Ram, Jeep, and Fiat parent company Stellantis (STLA) reported solid first-half results on Thursday morning, but only reaffirmed its prior guidance. Investors clearly wanted more from CEO Antonio Filosa's turnaround plan.
For the half, Stellantis reported revenue of 81.61 billion euros ($93.20 billion) vs. 80.71 billion euros per Bloomberg consensus, up 10% compared to last year. Stellantis posted adjusted earnings per share of 0.32 euros ($0.37) vs 0.35 euros expected, and adjusted operating income of 1.733 billion euros ($1.98 billion), more than triple the 540 million euros ($614 million) posted a year ago.
Stellantis confirmed its prior 2026 guidance, projecting net revenues to rise in the mid-single digits in 2026, with low-single-digit adjusted operating income margin. The company aims to return to positive industrial free cash flow by 2027.
The company said its net tariff headwind for the year is estimated at 1.0 billion to 1.2 billion euros ($1.14 billion-$1.37 billion), but Stellantis received an IEEPA refund of 400 million euros ($456.3 million) in the first half of the year.
Stellantis shares fell over 4% in premarket trade.

Ram, Jeep, and Fiat parent company Stellantis (STLA) will report first-half results on Thursday morning, with the success of CEO Antonio Filosa's turnaround plan in focus.
For the half, Stellantis is expected to report revenue of 80.71 billion euros ($91.82 billion) per Bloomberg consensus, up nearly 9% compared to last year. Stellantis is expected to post adjusted earnings per share of 0.35 euros ($0.40) and adjusted operating income of 1.42 billion euros ($1.62 billion), almost triple the 540 million euros ($614 million) posted a year ago.
After reporting its Q1 results, Stellantis confirmed its prior 2026 guidance, projecting net revenues to rise in the mid-single digits in 2026, with low-single-digit adjusted operating income margin. The company aims to return to positive industrial free cash flow by 2027.
The company's Big Three rivals — Ford (F) and GM (GM) — both upped their full-year profit projections in their respective reports, putting pressure on Stellantis to do the same.
Filosa's turnaround plan has worked in terms of sales success.

The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office has released a series of videos of NFL broadcaster and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo's arrest in Milwaukee last week.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel filed a public records request for the footage shortly after he was taken into custody on July 23.
In the videos, captured on body cameras, the Burlington-reared Romo, 46, appears compliant, though at points seemed confused or unable to hear instructions deputies gave him during their OWI investigation.
A sheriff's office arrest report says Romo was pulled over driving southbound on Interstate 43 in Milwaukee shortly after 6 p.m. because of a bad lane change.
The deputy approached the driver's side of the black Jeep. Romo, who was alone in the vehicle, told the deputy he was coming from a golf tournament, the Wisconsin Amateur Championship golf event in West Bend, and heading to his grandparents' home.

When we think about the major global automakers these days, many investors forget all about Stellantis (NYSE: STLA), while General Motors (NYSE: GM) and Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) remain hot topics. It's understandable, considering Stellantis' declining relevance in multiple markets, lack of a true branding identity, and numerous management missteps. No doubt, Stellantis has many, many issues to fix in the coming years to regain lost global notoriety. That said, the company could be in oversold territory, and Wall Street forward estimates suggest ***** ysts are in "prove it" mode regarding the company's massive $70 billion turnaround plan. Here's a look at how Stellantis is poised to outperform its rivals over the next five years.
Over the past three years, General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis have traded in completely different trajectories. GM has been thriving, and its stock has doubled over the past three years, while Ford has essentially remained flat, but Stellantis checked in with a staggering near 70% decline. To get a better idea of just how much value Stellantis has shed, take a look at this next graph.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Not only does Stellantis' market cap equal a fraction of rivals GM or Ford, but it has also even sunk below that of young electric vehicle (EV) maker Rivian (NASDAQ: RIVN). That's right; Stellantis, a global automaker with millions of shipments annually, has a market cap below Rivian, which only sells four electric vehicles and has only achieved its first full year of gross profitability in 2025, and remains a long way away from net profitability.
Roughly a decade ago, Stellantis, then operating as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in this reference, was peaking in the U.S. market. By 2019, however, its market share began a sharp decline that would last until about 2023, before leveling off over the next couple of years. This is the first year investors are seeing life from its core Jeep and Ram brands in North America.

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Charles Snowden has been suspended by the NFL for the first three games of the season following his plea deal to settle a DUI charge.
The league announced Snowden’s suspension on Tuesday.
Snowden was arrested on a misdemeanor DUI charge in 2024 while he was a member of the Las Vegas Raiders. Police in Las Vegas say they found Snowden “passed out” behind the wheel of his Jeep Cherokee as it was running and that he “had almost rolled off a four-foot retaining wall.”
Per police, results of two blood tests returned BACs of .18 and .19, more than twice the legal limit of .08. Snowden initially pleaded not guilty but reached a deal with prosecutors in January by entering a no-contest plea, per KLAS.
Per the plea deal, Snowden was required to pay a $1,000 fine and attend coroner's and DUI classes, and his charge was conditionally reduced to reckless driving pending the completion of his side of the deal.
