‘Affluenza’ teen Ethan Couch under investigation after Twitter user posts beer pong video
Authorities are investigating whether a drinking-game video posted online this week shows Ethan Couch, the Burleson teen whose affluenza defense spared him jail time in the drunken-driving deaths of four people in 2013.
The six-second video, uploaded to Twitter Wednesday afternoon, shows young men playing beer pong. The person who posted the video accused the 18-year-old of violating the terms of his probation.
“ya boy ethan couch violating probation. i got more if u want,” Twitter user @BlondeSpectre wrote, tagging the city of Burleson and the Tarrant County district attorney’s office.
Authorities said Couch was partying the night of June 15, 2013, when he struck and killed a 24-year-old woman whose SUV had broken down and three people who stopped to help her.
