Tony Romo questioned police during his July 23 operating while intoxicated arrest in Wisconsin, according to newly released police bodycam footage obtained by Fox News Digital.

The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback told the officer he was coming from a golf course and insisted he had consumed "zero" drinks before asking to call his attorney. When asked to step out of the vehicle, Romo responded, "Because I'm coming from a golf course, you think I'm drunk?"

Police detained Romo and transported him to a nearby station to conduct field sobriety tests. The arresting officer said she observed red, glassy eyes and smelled alcohol coming from Romo.
