On December 26, 2012, a grand jury indicted Brent on one count of intoxication manslaughter.[17] On May 24, 2013, the Dallas district attorney requested to revoke Brent's bail for not adhering to the monitoring conditions and send him to jail to await trial. The judge denied the request and ordered additional forms of monitoring.[18]
He was sent back to jail on June 27, 2013, after it was revealed that he had failed a drug test on June 19. Before this, he had also failed another drug test in late May, testing positive for marijuana both times.[19] He was released from jail due to a court order on July 7, 2013. On January 24, 2014, Brent was found guilty of intoxication manslaughter in the death of Jerry Brown and sentenced to 180 days in jail and 10 years probation.[20][21]
