'Affluenza teen' Ethan Couch may be getting out of jail soon

Ethan Couch, who as a teen killed four people in a drunken-driving crash, is scheduled to be released from the Tarrant County jail in two weeks. He has been serving a nearly two-year sentence for violating his probation and fleeing to Mexico with his mother.

Couch was initially sentenced to 10 years' probation in 2013 but in 2016, after he fled the country, he was ordered to serve 720 days in jail, 180 days for each of the four people he killed as a 16-year-old.

His scheduled release on April 2 is days before his 21st birthday.

After his release, Couch will report to the community supervision and corrections department for supervision requirements, said David McClelland with the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office.
