Tonya Couch Posts Bond, To Be Released Tuesday:
Tonya Couch, the mother of “affluenza” teen Ethan Couch, will be released from jail Tuesday, Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office said.
Her release comes a day after a judge lowered her bond from $1 million to $75,000.
Wearing an electronic ankle monitor is part of her bond agreement.
Authorities have accused Tonya Couch of helping her son leave the country to avoid a probation hearing that might have led to jail time for him.
Texas prosecutors had charged her with hindering the apprehension of a felon and initially set bond at $1 million. That happened in December after she was returned to the United States but was still in Los Angeles, in the custody of the L.A. Police Department.
Biden Says Obama Offered Financial Help Amid Son’s Illness:
As his eldest son faced the prospect of resigning as Delaware’s attorney general amid health concerns, Vice President Joe Biden received an offer that floored him: financial support from his boss, President Barack Obama.
In the never been told before story, Biden recalled how concerned Obama had been.
Describing in an interview with CNN chief political analyst Gloria Borger one of his weekly lunches with Obama, Biden said he told the President he was worried about caring for Beau’s family without his son’s salary.
“I said, ‘But I worked it out.’” Biden recalled telling Obama. “I said, ‘But — Jill and I will sell the house and be in good shape.’”
Obama, Biden remembered, pushed back vehemently on the thought of Biden and his wife selling their home in Wilmington, Delaware.
