U.S. Marshals release ‘Wanted’ poster for ‘affluenza’ teen Ethan Couch, offer $5,000 reward



For mowing down four people with his pickup in 2013 while he was drunk, Ethan Couch’s name was splashed all over the news.

And for skipping town and his probation, the U.S. Marshals now have plastered his face on “Wanted” posters released Friday.

The marshals are offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information on the whereabouts of the teen, who will forever be tied to the term “affluenza.”

On Thursday, the U.S. Marshals joined the search for Couch, 18, who is wanted on suspicion of violating the terms of his probation by failing to check in with his probation officer. Authorities have said they fear he may have left the country.

I know two adults in their mid to upper 30s that bear some resemblance to him. Both of them drank a lot when they were younger.

One of the two has laid off alcohol for over two years while the other one is showing better sense and won't drive while drinking.
