‘Affluenza’ teen Ethan Couch flown back to Texas

Mexican immigration agents put ‘affluenza’ teen Ethan Couch aboard a commercial flight to Texas, ending his month-long stay in Mexico.

Mexico’s immigration institute said that Mr Couch, who used an ‘affluenza’ defence in a fatal drunken-driving accident, was taken to the Mexico City airport from an immigration holding centre where he had been held.

Mr Couch was detained with his mother Tonya in the resort of Puerto Vallarta in December.
