(Reuters) - A Texas teen, who was a fugitive after allegedly breaking his probation sentence for killing four people while driving drunk, has been arrested in Puerto Vallarta in Mexico, CNN reported on Monday, citing officials briefed on the matter.

Ethan Couch, 18, was sentenced to probation about two years ago in juvenile court for intoxication manslaughter and is wanted in Tarrant County, Texas. He and his mother went missing earlier this month.

That did not take long.

Hard to be a stranger with loads of money in cash or credit without flying up on the radar.

This guy should run for President on the Democratic ticket, then this whole “running people over” hullabaloo will be drowned in the same lake as Mary Jo Kopechne.

I find it unlikely that this person will ever make a positive contribution to society. The rules don't apply to him. Consequences are for others. He's special.

I'd suggest putting him in a bad prison for 10 years. He will find out he's not anybody.

Let him rot in a Mexican jail for a few weeks before extraditing him.

where do these people think Mexico is? deep inside a tropical rainforest where they still use stone tools?

why do they think it will be so hard to be spotted/caught?
