Affluenza mom arrested again, is a methhead

Tonya Couch — the mother of a teen who caused a drunken driving crash that killed four people and injured several others in 2013 — is back in jail.

Couch, 52, is still awaiting trial on charges related to helping her son Ethan Couch escape to Mexico in 2015.

Couch has been in and out of jail over the last year after being accused of violating the terms of her release. She was arrested in March 2018 when she tested positive for a prohibited substance. She posted her $75,000 bond in May, but was accused of using methamphetamine and rearrested in June. During a bond reduction hearing in August, a judge told Couch she couldn’t use drugs and denied the lowering of her bond. New bond conditions were filed in October, but Couch was still barred from using any substances.

She has been back in jail since Friday, according to Tarrant County jail booking reports. Court documents cite a positive urinalysis.

Couch and her son, Ethan Couch, garnered national attention after a witness at his trial said he suffered from “affluenza,” meaning that his affluent upbringing and dysfunctional parents kept him from learning right from wrong.

Tonya Couch is accused of withdrawing $30,000 from a bank account and hiding with her son in Mexico after he missed a probation appointment in 2015.

Ethan Couch was sentenced to 10 years’ probation in the case but had been jailed for violating the conditions of his probation.

He was released from jail in April 2018 after completing his two-year sentence for violating the terms of his probation. He was allowed to remove his GPS monitor in March of this year, but he still must comply with other conditions of his release, according to Tarrant County court documents.

The Affluenza defense played much better to the jury than the reality of “redneck kid with no boundaries or discipline at home”

Dad had just enough money through his local business to finance a lifestyle on payments,  buy some toys, make the excuse plausible to a jury and most importantly exciting for the media to blow out of proportion.

They sure as shit didn’t have the kind of money it would take to fake his extracurricular activities and get him admitted to USC on the water polo team.

She and her child were doing just fine according to their Scots-Methish tribal culture down in Mexico before unwanted US intervention messed everything up.

Intervention methed everything up.  It methed it up

Affluenza? These two look like East Texas trailer trash and the only thing affluent was their double-wide. Meth head sounds about right.

Just realized you could put him in a douchey "affluenza" outfit with photoshop and place him with Kristen Wiig from one of those "Two A Hole" skits from SNL.
