affluenza teen

Mexican authorities on Thursday deported a U.S. teenager known for using an "affluenza" defense in a fatal Texas drunk-driving accident, a month after the fugitive was caught at a resort.

On Wednesday, Ethan Couch, aka the "affluenza" teen, won a three-day delay from deportation from Mexico where he was detained weeks after fleeing probation imposed for a deadly drunk-driving crash in Texas.

A migration official told AFP that Ethan Couch, known as the "affluenza" teen, and his mother will likely be sent back to Texas this week, but no date has been set.

U.S. agents are offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to the whereabouts or arrest of Ethan Couch, the 18-year-old Texan who is known as the "affluenza teen."
