FORT WORTH, Texas -- Ethan Couch, who gained notoriety as the "affluenza teen" during his trial for killing four people in a drunken-driving crash, will be released at the beginning of April, reports say.

Couch, 20, has been in the Tarrant County Jail for nearly two years after he violated the terms of his 10-year probation that he received for the 2013 crash, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Couch was supposed to abstain from alcohol but a video released in 2015 showed him playing a drinking game, according to the Star-Telegram.

In June 2013, Couch, who was 16 at the time, was driving a truck that killed four pedestrians, CBS News reports.

His trial defense said he was a victim of "affluenza," claiming he could not tell right from wrong because of his wealthy upbringing.

CBS News reports Couch's mother, Tonya Couch, is still awaiting trial on charges of hindering apprehension of a felon and money laundering. Ethan Couch and his mother fled to Mexico in 2015 after Ethan violated his probation, the Dallas Morning News reports.
