2 REID SONS INVOLVED IN SEPARATE INCIDENTS
PHILADELPHIA -- Two of Eagles coach Andy Reid's three sons are under
investigation--one for suspicion of pointing a gun at a motorist, the
other for a car accident just hours later, after which police said he
admitted using heroin.
Britt Reid was questioned by police after a man matching his
description in a sport-utility vehicle registered to Andy Reid and
his wife brandished a weapon at another driver during an argument
Tuesday morning, authorities said.
Authorities served a search warrant later Tuesday at the home the
21-year-old shares with his parents in suburban Philadelphia.
Police said they seized a shotgun and a handgun, along with
containers of white powder or residue from the vehicle.
No charges have been filed.
Andy Reid was on vacation and not at home at the time of the search.
He returned home Wednesday.
On the same day as the alleged road-rage incident, Britt Reid's older
brother, Garrett, was found with drug paraphernalia after his
sport-utility vehicle collided with another vehicle in nearby
Plymouth Township, police said.
According to a police affidavit obtained by a Philadelphia TV
station, a Plymouth Township police officer observed a triple-beam
scale and the butt of a handgun in the SUV Garrett Reid had been driving.
In a statement to police, the 23-year-old Garrett Reid said he had
used heroin earlier in the day, admitted he was speeding at the time
of the accident and said he did not know what color the traffic light
was when he went through the intersection, according to the affidavit.
Police requested a search warrant for the SUV, but it was not
immediately clear if investigators had executed the warrant.
Andy Reid didn't have any immediate comment on the incidents, Eagles
spokesman Derek Boyko said.
