Dallas Cowboys nose tackle Josh Brent's blood-alcohol content level was more than twice the legal limit on the night of a fatal crash that killed his teammate and friend Jerry Brown.

Irving police released a crash report Thursday that said Brent's level was 0.189, above the Texas legal limit of 0.08. A search of his Mercedes sedan produced an unopened bottle of Cognac liquor, along with "multiple receipts" and the title to the car.

Brent was indicted Wednesday on one count of intoxication manslaughter in the Dec. 8 crash, and could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
