The court Tuesday ordered that Romo's driving privileges be revoked for 6 months and ordered him to attend and complete an alcohol assessment program, court records show.

Romo, a Burlington native, was facing four traffic citations following his arrest. Court records show his three other citations were dismissed. He will have to pay $834 in fines by Nov. 2, or risk his driver's license being suspended for up to a year.

He was also ordered that an ignition interlock device be installed on any vehicle Romo owns, operates, or is registered in his name for a minimum of one year after the Wisconsin Department of Transportation issues him a license.

TMJ4 reached out to Romo's attorney for comment but did not immediately hear back.
