Couch, 22, is accused of testing positive for THC on a drug patch, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported, citing court records. THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the primary psychoactive component of the cannabis plant.

Couch first made headlines as a teenager when he was sentenced in 2013 to 10 years of probation for a drunken driving crash that killed four people and seriously injured two others.

Prosecutors in that case sought 20 years in prison, but Couch received no prison time after a psychologist testified that Couch was a victim of “affluenza,” a product of wealthy, privileged parents who never set limits for him.

Three hours after the crash, tests showed Couch had a blood alcohol content of 0.24, three times the legal limit, according to the district attorney’s office.

At least he didn’t kill anybody. This time.

Maybe ‘Couch’ wasn’t the best choice of names.

[leaning conservative]

Put this sorry guy away forever.

Mom was locked up too - she may be out now

[Dacula]

So what will happen to him?

[muskah]

Hopefully 3 yrs hard time.

[mewzilla]

Looks like dad is off the hook. A grand jury no-billed him last month.

What a fanily.

[HonkyTonkMan]

Crazy - got people’s attention because of family wealth I think. Sad for those kids that were killed - awful story.

[A strike]

Really good job idiot judge; not!

[Dacula]

Hopefully 3 yrs hard time.

He needs much more.

[mylife]

They need to toss his Momma in jail.

[hal ogen]

What a waste of money...shoot him.

[Impala64ssa]

Goes to show, the sh*t never rolls far from the pigs.

[PAR35]

Not like this is the first time he’s violated probation. Line him up for another tap (not even a slap) on the wrist.

Those Fort Worth judges can’t do enough to help him out.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Judge needs to join him in prison.

[PAR35]

The dad was the pick of the litter in that family.

With a little bit of luck, Bubba his cellmate will administer some real justice to this little puke.
