If the judge declines to transfer Couch to adult court, Wilson will ask that his probation be revoked, in which case he could be held in a juvenile facility until his sentence expires when he turns 19 next April. He was detained Monday in Mexico. He was sentenced to 10 years’ probation, but failed to appear for a mandatory meeting with his probation officer three weeks ago.

Some were beheaded with a sword while others were executed by firing squad, said interior ministry spokesman Mansur al-Turki. Shuwail, described by Saudi media as al-Qaeda’s top religious leader in the kingdom, was one of them.

He might be moved to the adult justice system after that.

It’s incomprehensible that Ethan Couch will be free to sleep in his own bed anytime soon, although you might have thought that back when Jean Boyd had the case.

Tarrant County Sheriff Dee Anderson said Tuesday at a news conference that the warrant would be issued for Tonya Couch on charges of hindering an apprehension. Consuming alcohol would break the terms of his probation.
It was no great stretch to predict, as pretty much every Tarrant County law enforcement official did, that the Ethan Couch story would reach this point. It’s a close question because double jeopardy is going to take effect. “We’re hopeful that’s not the case. We’ve already done a plea bargain”. The very savvy pair used one of their cell phones to order pizza to their Puerto Vallarta condo.
The U.S. Marshals Service tracked Couch down using electronic surveillance, including tracking a cellphone believed to be linked to him, an official briefed on the investigation told CNN. The U.S. Marshals found the two in Mexico, and worked with Mexican agencies to apprehend them.

US marshals joined the search for Couch on December 18.
The Couches are now being held in Guadalajara before being returned to Texas. They were detained while arriving back at the apartment on Monday evening and put up no resistance, he said. “Their wish is to return to the state of Texas”. That gives authorities a wide berth for pursuing Tonya Couch.
A police booking picture from Mexico showed the previously blond Ethan Couch with dark hair.
