The father of a North Texas teen whose defense blamed “affluenza” for his deadly DUI wreck has been arrested and accused of identifying himself as a police officer.

Frederick Anthony Couch was arrested Tuesday for falsely identifying himself as a police officer and for misrepresentation of property, North Richland Hills Police said.

Officers were called to a disturbance on the 4400 block of Mackey Drive just after 1 a.m. July 28, police said Tuesday.

There, Keith Capo said Couch had a gun and had shown up with Capo's neighbor, who he says threatened him following a disagreement days before.

Capo's wife then called police.
"The officer I was speaking to was all gung-ho. He said, 'What do you want to happen?' I said, 'I want to press charges,'" Capo said.

Investigating officers spoke with Couch, who they say presented a badge and an identification card and identified himself as a reserve officer for the small Lake Worth community of Lakeside.

1. Not only an entitled jerk, but stupid too.

He will be well aware of his "affluenza" in jail. He has even pissed off the police now, so he's a little short on friends.
