AFFLUENZA

[HairOfTheDog]

It's being reported that the Couches delayed their deportation initially by claiming their Constitutional rights were violated because they were separated from their dog when they were arrested in Puerto Vallarta.

It's also being reported that hotel workers in Mexico did not check ID for registration and the pair paid in cash. At the first hotel, Ethan went to a strip club alone but didn't have the money to pay his bar tab. So, employees went back to the hotel with him and collected it from his mom. When they moved to the second hotel, they left behind a revolver in a drawer and Ethan went back and retrieved it.

I don't know if all of those reports are true, but it wouldn't surprise me if they were.

Ethan Couch is now represented by high-profile Mexican attorney Fernando Benitez, of Tijuana. "My interest is that if they are looking for his extradition to the United States, that it proceeds only according to the Constitution and the law," Benitez wrote in Spanish. He did not immediately respond to a question about who is paying him.
