'Affluenza' teen to drop fight against Mexico deportation: source
MEXICO CITY
Lawyers for a Texas teen who killed four people in a so-called "affluenza" drunk-driving case have told Mexican authorities they want to drop their fight against his deportation to the United States, a Mexican official said on Wednesday.
Ethan Couch's legal team presented a document to a court in western Jalisco state seeking to end the effort, although the 18-year-old must still sign the paperwork and have it ratified by judicial authorities, the official said.
That would pave the way for the teen to return to the United States to face charges he violated his probation in the 2013 drunk-driving case.
Couch and his mother, Tonya, were arrested in Mexico last month following a more than two-week manhunt. His mother was deported to the United States last month.
