Update at 1 p.m. Thursday: Updated to include sentencing information.

"Affluenza" teen Ethan Couch's father was sentenced to a year of probation Wednesday for falsely identifying himself as a police officer in North Richland Hills two years ago.

The Couch family has faced public scrutiny since 2013, when Ethan Couch killed four people while driving drunk in Burleson. He was 16 at the time. Adding fuel to the ire was a judge's decision to sentence Couch, whose attorneys argued he suffered from "affluenza" because of his family's wealth, to probation instead of making him spend time in jail.

Fred Couch's misdemeanor case had dragged on since July 2014, when authorities said he told North Richland Hills police responding to a disturbance call that he was a reserve officer for Lakeside police. He was alleged to have taken out his wallet and showed the officers what appeared to be a police badge and identification card.

But police did some digging and realized he was lying. They arrested him a month later.

On Wednesday, a Tarrant County jury found him guilty of false identification of a peace officer. He could have been sentenced to up to 180 days in county jail and a $2,000 fine, the Star-Telegram reported.

A judge sentenced Couch to a year of probation and 100 hours of community service, a spokeswoman for the Tarrant County district attorney's office said. He will have to spend 120 days in jail if he doesn't comply with the terms of his probation, the DA's office said.

Jurors were reportedly shown dash cam video that showed Couch telling officers he was a reserve officer.

"For some reason, he thought he was entitled. He wasn't," Tarrant County prosecutor Lloyd Whelchel said in his closing argument, the Star-Telegram reported.

The Couch family's legal troubles are far from over.

Ethan Couch is locked up in the Tarrant County Jail. A judge ruled in April that he would have to spend nearly two years in jail for violating the terms of his probation. Authorities said he fled to Mexico after a viral video appeared to show him playing beer pong while on probation.

His mother, Tonya, was accused of helping him flee the country. She was charged with money laundering and hindering apprehension of a felon. That case hasn't been settled.
