| Affluenza Boy's Mother Whines About Her Jail 'Accomodations' |
| 2016-01-08 |
| Where is that tiny violin? it's around here somewhere... A sheriff says a "woman with means" whose fugitive teenage son used an "affluenza" defense to avoid prison after killing four people in a drunken-driving wreck has complained about the conditions in her Texas jail cell. Tarrant County Sheriff Dee Anderson said at a news conference Friday that he responded to Tonya Couch's complaints by saying it "is a jail, not a resort." Couch made an initial appearance at court Friday on a charge of hindering the apprehension of a felon. Authorities believe Couch and her 18-year-old son, Ethan Couch, fled Texas in November as prosecutors investigated whether the teenager had violated his probation. The mother and son were arrested in the Mexican resort city of Puerto Vallarta late last month. |

#2 Send her to Sheriff Joe in Arizona. She'll be begging to go back to Texas.

| #1 The mother and son were arrested in the Mexican resort city of Puerto Vallarta late last month. This stuff just writes itself, doesn't it. Maybe someone could offer her a job as a Marine for a year. That ought to give her something to think about. |
