'Affluenza' mom also violated bond by having gun, prosecutors allege

FORT WORTH -- Prosecutors on Tuesday filed an amended motion to revoke Tonya Couch’s bond, alleging that she has been in possession of a gun in addition to possessing or consuming alcohol, according to court records.

The filing follows up the motion prosecutors filed last week, seeking to revoke Couch’s bond over the alleged alcohol violation.

This week, prosecutors alleged that Couch was in possession of a gun June 24. They also changed the date of the alleged alcohol violation from June 16 to May 20. Both allegations would be violations of her bond.

Couch, the mother of “affluenza teen” Ethan Couch, is accused of withdrawing $30,000 from a bank account and fleeing with her son to Mexico after he skipped a probation appointment in 2015. She is charged with money laundering and hindering the apprehension of a felon and has been free on bond since January 2016.

because of affluenza, he'd have served most of his time by now and she'd be in the clear.

Now they're both constantly in trouble.

That first judge did no one any favors.
