A Texas sheriff says that a woman and her son drove a pickup truck to Mexico as they fled his probation for killing four people in a drunken-driving wreck. He was known for invoking an “affluenza” defense.
Eighteen-year-old Ethan Couch and his mother, Tonya Couch, were located and detained Monday in the Pacific Coast resort city of Puerto Vallarta. Tarrant County Sheriff Dee Anderson said Tuesday that the pair had planned to disappear and had something like a going-away party before they left town.
