(CNN) Ethan Couch, known for the “affluenza” defense in his deadly drunk driving case in 2013, had a “weak positive” result on a drug patch he wore after being arrested Thursday, officials said Friday.
Couch, 22, was accused Thursday of testing positive for THC on a drug patch, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported, citing court records.
A drug patch adheres to a person’s skin and can detect drugs that come out in sweat.

At this point, Wilson’s office cannot tell if the result was caused by legal CBD oil or illegal marijuana, the statement says.
