SAN ANTONIO – Former Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Josh Brent was sentenced Friday to 10 years of probation in the death of his friend and practice squad player Jerry Brown in a one-car wreck in Irving on Dec. 8, 2012.
The maximum sentence was 20 years in prison.
Brent was also assessed a $10,000 fine for intoxication manslaughter. He also will spent 180 days in jail as part of the sentence, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.
