Affluenza teen Ethan Couch, mother detained in Mexico
Infamous affluenza teenager Ethan Couch and his mother have been found in Mexico, according to authorities.
He was reportedly found near the popular beach resort Puerto Vallarta by Mexican authorities Monday afternoon. CNN was the first to report the arrest of the wanted teen.
Tarrant County officials said they hadn't been informed of arrests by Mexican officials, but were checking with the US Marshals for more information.
Couch, who killed four people while driving drunk in 2013, and his mother Tonya went missing about two weeks ago. Couch missed an appointment with his probation officer, leading authorities to believe he was on the run from law enforcement and possibly fled the country.
Earlier this month the DA’S office began investigating a video posted online that appeared to show Ethan Couch at a party where alcohol is involved – a violation of his probation. The clip shows several young men playing beer pong. It’s believed the release of the video caused Ethan Couch to flee.
In the days before Christmas, authorities asked people to search for Tonya Couch’s vehicle, a black 2011 Ford F-150 pick-up truck.
Ethan Couch was convicted of intoxication manslaughter and sentenced to 10 years of probation for driving his pickup truck drunk and killing four people.
Couch was found guilty, but the defense argued he had “affluenza.” Attorneys said he was the product of a dysfunctional and abusive family -- parents who condoned drug and alcohol use and never set boundaries. He was given probation and sent to a pricey rehab facility in California.
Prosecutors said his alcohol level was three times the legal limit when he caused the chain reaction crash in Burleson. The crash killed a 24-year-old stranded motorist, a youth pastor who stopped to help her and a mother and daughter who lived nearby. They were all working to change a flat on the side of the road.
