TARRANT COUNTY -- The mother of "affluenza" teen Ethan Couch now faces her own serious legal trouble.
News 8 has learned that a Tarrant County grand jury has indicted Tonya Couch on two charges.
The first is hindering apprehension for helping Ethan Couch flee to Mexico while on probation for killing four people in a drunk driving crash in 2013. The grand jury also indicted Tonya Couch for money laundering for allegedly using $30,000 to finance the trip to Mexico.
The U.S. Marshal's Fugitive Task Force located Ethan and Tonya Couch in Mexico late last year.
A district judge recently sentenced Ethan, now 19, to nearly two years in jail before he can continue his 10-year probation he received in juvenile court.
Ethan's father, Fred Couch, is also battling his own legal troubles. He faces a misdemeanor charge of false identification after showing a fake police badge to an officer who pulled him over.
