‘Affluenza’ Teen Ethan Couch Changed His Appearance While He Was On The Lam

As you may have heard by now, “affluenza” teen Ethan Couch has been apprehended with his mother in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where it is to be believed that the mother fled with her son. The motivation for Couch and his mother leaving the country seems to be escaping possible probation violation charges stemming from a video that surfaced on Twitter, which allegedly showed Couch engaged in a rousing game of beer pong — an obvious “no no” being that the teen killed four people drunk driving in 2013.

ABC News editor Joshua Hoyos has now shared the first image of Couch following his arrest in Mexico, and as you can see, gone is the natural strawberry blonde hair he was sporting at the time of his 2013 arrest and trial. Couch’s hair, eyebrows and facial hair all appear to be dyed dark, if there was any question as to whether or not he intended to be discovered. It just goes to show, you can dye your hair, but you can’t wipe that smug, sh*t-eating grin of having gotten away with killing four people off your face. As we previously mentioned, Couch could face up to 10 years in prison for his probation violation, and something tells us that the judge might not go so easy on him this time.
