FORT WORTH The heaviest punishment Ethan Couch, 18, can receive for fleeing the country while on probation is several months in jail, Tarrant County District Attorney Sharen Wilson said Tuesday. Because Couch, caught Monday in Mexico with his mother after two weeks on the run, is on juvenile probation, any punishment would be limited to the terms of probation set in juvenile court.
