Andy Reid's sons in hot water with Police for two seperate inciden (2 Viewers)

[SwampDawg]

January 31, 2007 - Two sons of Eagles Coach Andy Reid appear to be in hot water. One of the incidents happened in West Conshohocken, the other a few miles away in Plymouth Township.

Investigators say 24-year-old Garrett Reid blew the light and broadsided a red Ford Taurus at Germantown Pike and Arch Road.

Police say they found drug paraphernalia inside his SUV.

Reid wasn't injured, but the driver of the other car, a 55-year-old woman from Mount Carmel, Pa. had to be cut from the car with the jaws of life.

She was treated and released from the hospital.

Police also took Reid to a hospital, where he gave up a blood sample for drug and alcohol testing.

Earlier in the day, his 21-year-old brother, Britt Reid, was involved in an alleged road rage incident on Front Road in West Conshohocken.

Reports indicate that he exchanged words and gestures with another driver, and then displayed a gun.

Authorities served a search warrant at Andy Reid's Villanova home looking for the gun. Police believe they found it, but officials say that's not necessarily a crime if you have a permit.

The district attorney's office says they're trying to determine if he has a license to carry a weapon. They're also looking into the circumstances involved.

Both young men live with their parents in Villanova.

Coach Reid and his wife, Tammy, were in California and returned home without comment.

The lawyer representing the Reid boys says they are cooperating, but they won't have any public statements.

Rough day.

Wow, I work like 2 minutes from where Garrett's accident happened. Very bizarre situation.

 

[scorchy]

Heroin? Shotguns? Hollow-point bullets?

And lol at the police saying that these kids weren't shown preferential treatment.

From what I heard from some sources out here in Philly is that these incidents were not seperate. When the first brother crashed his car high on H ron he had weapons, drug paraph, Heroin coke and marijuana. The other brother was speeding to the scene of the arrest apparently, and the kid wasnt too bright because he too had weapons and pot. The flashing of the gun was not a good idea.

Anyway I think they'll both walk, theyre rich.

How could the kid not be arrested at the scene? At least for a dwi.

Sad story.

Reality is that many NFL coaches are simply married to their jobs.

100 hour weeks, probably not usually seeing these kids for weeks on end during the season during the all-too-crucial "wayward teenager" years can be tough. Even if these kids would have turned out the exact same way had their old man been a shoe salesman, there is no way that Coach Reid doesn't feel some serious guilt and remorse as to whether or not things may have turned out differently had he been around a bit more.

This is just smut reporting. What is the point of this story. The only reason its news is because their dad is famous.

Not true. Obviously the only reason it's on FBG is b/c their dad is a football coach. However, given the area where this happened, I can guarantee this would have made the news with or without the Reid connection-- except instead of letting the kids go, a swat team would have likely been called to the scene.

It's newsworthy because it's the first interesting offense coming out of the Reid household in years.

Huh? All I hear about on the Philly news is the 3 people that got shot or raped during the day. I rarely see a gun shown to someone or some clowns needles found in his car.

I obviously didn't make my point clearly. This would have made the news because there would have been a swat team on Germantown Pike if this had been someone less visible:1) Major carwreck on relatively major road (often makes the tv news, especially during rush hour)2) Driver high as a kite, with gun and paraphenelia (including dealing tools)3) Brother (on the run from a road rage incident) shows up in car with shotgun in the backseat.Regardless, while this obviously wouldn't have been a lead story on 6ABC, it still would have made the local paper. Hell, when my car was vandalized in Plymouth Township, it made the paper.

If Andy Reid were a school teacher, the effect and impact would be exactly the same. This story would be front and center of the local newspaper and on the local 11 oclock news. Within 48 hours every human being in School Teacher Reid's small little world would know that his son's are involved with Heroin and Guns.Same Effect, it is just now that Andy Reid plays in a bigger playpen.

True. Just like dozens of people commit suicide every day, but we heard about Dungy's son last year, because he is high profile.
