by Mark Frauenfelder from on (#25H9Q)
Fred Couch, father of the drunk driving teenager who got his wrist slapped for killing four people in 2013, got his own wrist slapped yesterday for falsely identifying himself as a peace officer.
From The Daily Beast:
The elder Couch, 51, was charged in September of 2014 after falsely identifying himself as a reserve Lakeside police officer, showing a North Richland Hills police officer a shield-style badge and claiming to have his "Lakeside police stuff in the truck."
He will serve a year's probation.
