Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Josh Brent reportedly violated conditions of his bond and prosecutors wanted it revoked pending a trial on an intoxicated manslaughter charge, according to USA Today.

Brent was freed on a $100,000 bond. He was charged in the Dec. 8 crash that killed Cowboys practice squad player and Brent's best friend Jerry Brown Jr., a passenger in the car. Police said Brent had a blood-alcohol level twice the legal limit for driving.

Prosecutors allege Brent violated conditions of his release by tampering with a device that monitors his body for the presence of alcohol. Dallas judge Robert Burns ordered him to wear the device, called known as a SCRAM unit, as part of his parole agreement.

Brent's alcohol monitoring device detected alcohol, according to the Dallas County District Attorney's office.

Debbie Denmon, a spokesperson for the Dallas DA, said the office is seeking to have Brent's bond revoked because he is not meeting the conditions of his release.

"He is not meeting the specific conditions that come along with the SCRAM unit," the spokeswoman said. "He also missed several appointments he should have made, that you have to show up for, so they can monitor the device and check it."

Denmon added that this was the second time Brent failed to meet conditions of his release.

Prosecutors already asked the judge once before to give Brent a verbal warning. When Brent failed to follow the rules of his parole a second time, prosecutors decided to request the hearing, where they will ask Burns to revoke the player's bail.

Brent's football career remains on hold pending the outcome of this case.

The player is scheduled for a fall trial date. Brent was scheduled to appear before Dallas Burns at 9 a.m. CT Friday

According to a source, Brent allegedly did not use any alcoholic beverages. Brent's attorneys tried to determine how alcohol got into his system.

Brown was killed in Irving, Texas, when Brent crashed his car after a night of drinking.
