		</div><p>The mother of teenage fugitive Ethan Couch has been returned to the United States without her son after her deportation from Mexico.</p>
<p>Tonya Couch, from Texas, was in handcuffs in the custody of US Marshals when she was taken through Los Angeles International Airport after a flight from Guadalajara.</p>
<p>She was taken to an unmarked car and driven away.</p>
<p>Her 18-year-old son was on probation for a fatal 2013 drink-driving crash, and remains in Mexico City in an immigration facility because a judge issued an injunction temporarily blocking his deportation.</p>
<p>Authorities say Ethan Couch, who used &#8220;affluenza&#8221; as a defence in his trial, fled with his mother to Mexico as prosecutors investigated whether he had violated his probation.</p>
<p>Both were detained on Monday after a phone call for a pizza led to their capture in the resort city of Puerto Vallarta.</p>
<p>A drunk and speeding Couch crashed into an SUV near Fort Worth, Texas, in June 2013, killing four people and injuring several others, including passengers in his pick-up truck.</p>
<p>He pleaded guilty to four counts of intoxication manslaughter and two counts of intoxication assault causing serious bodily injury.</p>
<p>A judge sentenced him in juvenile court to 10 years&#8217; probation and a stint in a rehabilitation centre.</p>
<p>Richard Hunter, chief deputy for the US Marshals Service in south Texas, said the three-day court injunction granted to Couch would probably take at least two weeks to resolve.</p>
<p>An official with Mexico&#8217;s National Immigration Institute said Couch&#8217;s mother was sent back to the US because immigration authorities did not receive a judge&#8217;s injunction like the one that temporarily blocked her son&#8217;s deportation.</p>
<p>During the sentencing phase of Couch&#8217;s trial in 2013, a defence expert argued that his wealthy parents coddled him into a sense of irresponsibility &#8211; a condition the expert termed &#8220;affluenza&#8221;.</p>
<p>The condition is not recognised as a medical diagnosis by the American Psychiatric Association and the claim during the legal proceedings sparked ridicule.</p>
