There were a lot of mixed reaction on Sunday when Josh Brent (who was charged with intoxication manslaughter in Jerry Brown’s death) was seen on the Cowboys sideline. Many thought he shouldn’t be part of the team and should be punished, but a lot of teammates did want him there to let him know that they are supporting him.
Well now, Josh will not be permitted to be on the Dallas Cowboys’ sideline for the remainder of the season.
According to Ed Werder at ESPN:
The Cowboys and officials in the NFL’s offices were unaware that Brent — who is on the reserve/non-football injury list after being charged with intoxication manslaughter two weeks ago in the car crash that killed teammate Jerry Brown — would be on the sideline Sunday during the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Dallas. Both the team and the league agree that it was not appropriate, sources said.
Meanwhile, a judge ordered Brent to wear an electronic ankle monitor, and also modified conditions for his continued release, lowering his bond from $500,000 to $100,000 during his Tuesday court appearance.
Brent also was ordered not to consume alcohol or drive until he has a valid Texas license, and he was fitted with a SCRAM device that will detect any alcohol consumption. The judge warned Brent that any violation of these terms will result in him being immediately returned to jail.
