Jared From Subway Is Under Investigation For Possession Of Child Porn

by Sean Levinson

Authorities reportedly raided the home of Subway spokesman Jared Fogle earlier today due to possible possession of child pornography.

According to Fox 59, federal and state investigators arrived at the Zionsville, Indiana home at 6:30 am after obtaining warrants.

Fogle, 37, was detained from the home, but as of this morning, he has not yet been placed under arrest.

Numerous electronics were taken by authorities and analyzed in a van just outside the property, WTHR reports.

The raid could possibly be connected to the demise of Russell Taylor, the former director of a charity Fogle started, The Jared Foundation.

Taylor was arrested when investigators found over 500 videos containing images of child porn in his home earlier this year.

The Jared Foundation claimed to have ended its relationship with Taylor, who unsuccessfully attempted suicide in prison after he was arrested.

Fogle became Subway's ambassador after losing almost 250 pounds through a diet allegedly dominated by the chain's sandwiches.
