Jim Dent, the author of several books about football, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison after his 10th conviction for driving while intoxicated.
Dent, who jumped bail and fled to Mexico last year, reached a plea agreement with prosecutors in which he will be allowed to serve a 10-year sentence for bail jumping and a 10-year sentence for the DWIs simultaneously.
The Dallas Morning News reports that this will be the longest of three jail terms Dent has served. Dent has served a three-month term and a 22-month term for previous drunk driving convictions and probation violations.
