Ethan Couch: US ‘affluenza’ runaway teen delays Mexico extradition

On Dec 31, 2015

A fugitive who made headlines for using an “affluenza” defence after a fatal drink-driving crash has delayed his extradition from Mexico to the US.

A judge will now consider the deportation of Ethan Couch, 18.

He and his mother were arrested in the resort town of Puerto Vallarta after a phone call for pizza tipped off police.
