The mom of the "affluenza" killer is broke

https://www.wfaa.com/amp/article/news/crime/affluenza-mom-tonya-couch-is-broke/287-ab63fb7e-9d4d-43f9-a13d-515cb0232517

Tonya Couch filed an affidavit of indigency this week in Tarrant County claiming she is broke "due to notoriety."

Couch, 52, was jailed in April after she failed a drug test, which is a condition of her bond while she awaits trial on money laundering and hindering apprehension charges.

She is accused of helping her son, Ethan Couch, escape to Mexico while he was on probation for killing four people in a drunken driving crash when he was 16.
