Wealthy but worthless ‘Affluenza’ teen Ethan Couch below is being sought by state and federal authorities for violating his parole and, quite possibly, fleeing the country.
Investigators looking for the 19-year-old alcoholic murderer at his mother’s home, where the feckless youth was serving out a house arrest, discovered the place empty this week, save for a pinball machine.
They said, by the look of things there, Couch and his mother had vamoosed “some time ago” and, due to their wealth, likely went abroad together.
Just prior to their illegal departure, the notorious Affluenza teen was filmed by a civic-minded young woman drinking with his buddies.
She then uploaded that incriminating cell phone footage to the Web, outing Ethan Couch for violating the terms of his vehicular-homicide probation.
A drunken and stoned Couch killed four people and maimed two others with his car in 2013, after first robbing cases of beer from a Walmart store.
Because he’s an affluent defendant, though, the court gave the juvenile delinquent a gentle slap on the wrist for his bloody crime spree, under the pretext that he was suffering from the side effects of being too rich.
Instead of prison, Couch was merely to be confined at his mother’s estate, where he was prohibited from consuming alcohol and required to meet with a parole officer once-monthly for eight more years.
When finally apprehended for partying and going on the lam this month, he’ll now be facing at least ten-years real jail time, plus another decade for fleeing jurisdiction.
