Where is Ethan Couch now?

As of the time of writing, Ethan Couch is currently out of prison.

He was reportedly arrested on January 2, 2020, for violating his probation when his patch detected THC.

Nevertheless, he was released on January 3, 2020, when further tests were unable to establish if the THC in his system had resulted from CBD oil or actual marijuana consumption.

Ethan’s probation will reportedly end in 2024.
