(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.
This little girl will be a woman soon.
Maybe he is an illegitimate Clinton.
gonna be more like a squeal soon.
This was an outrageous decision. It gave a pass to anybody rich to commit crimes. I hope he will experience Mexican prison life - should cure him of his afluenca.
Mexico and the US have had an extradition treaty for years. Why do people not remember that?
Now he will have to come back and buy another judge.
Looks like he won’t be sleeping with his mother anytime soon.
Because they’re idiots and know nothing about Mexico. In any case, Puerto Vallarta is inhabited almost entirely by American and European short term visitors, so he and Mom were probably dumb enough to think they’d blend in with the crowd.
What I want to know is of anything ever happened to the judge who let him off with that “defense.” There should have been major outcry about this, but I don’t recall seeing anything except from a few people here.
Hope this time he stays in jail for LONG time. He got away with MURDER.
Good. Too bad both him and mom can’t be jailed for life.
Well she was supposed to be. She drop a dime?
one teenage from the accident has a nightmare injury.
I don’t know if he can move OR communicate.
His parents should have gotten hit in civil court.
He deserved to get ROCKED in criminal court.
affluenza. get the @#$@#$ out of here.
Looks that way
The same judge who gave him probation for killing 4 gave 20 years to a teen for killing one while DWI. The difference was he was poor and could only afford a public defender.
Doubt it. I bet she enabled
Hang him.
Didn’t think he and mommy were smart enough to stay on the lam in a foreign country. Can’t wait to hear how he got caught - stepping out for a six pack maybe?
He’s better off in jail. With parents like these he’ll become a serial killer.
Perhaps his mom will buy their way out of the Mexican jail first, they obviously have the money!!!!
