Not Again: 'Affluenza' Teen, Now An Adult, Arrested Once More

Ethan Couch first made headlines as a teenager for his 'affluenza' defense in a deadly drunk driving case.

Driving under the influence, he killed four people and seriously injured two others.

A juvenile court judge outraged victims' families and anti-drunk driving advocates with his sentence of 10 years' probation.

After fleeing to Mexico with his mother, he was eventually returned to the US in 2015.

A Texas judge in adult court ordered nearly two years of jail time for Couch.
