Garrett Reid: I Began Selling Drugs In 2002
During a sentencing hearing on drug charges on Thursday morning, Garrett Reid said he started selling drugs during the summer of 2002 because he liked feeling powerful and enjoyed the status of dealing in North Philadelphia. Reid, 24, said kids were afraid of him, noting that he also sold to some of their parents. He was sentenced to two to 23 months in prison.

On Tuesday, Reid was jailed after failing a drug test and he was caught trying to smuggle drugs into jail through his rectum, authorities said. His 22-year-old brother, Britt Reid, was also scheduled to be sentenced on Thursday. Before the hearing, the brothers' father, Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid, was spotted walking into the courtroom with his wife, Tammy. The Reid brothers had already been in custody for drug charges stemming from traffic incidents that took place earlier in the year. "His sentencing is Thursday, and we hope that the judge will listen to our arguments and will come up with sentence that will include a plan of treatment that will lead to rehabilitation," defense lawyer Ross Weiss said. "We do have a plan that we will present to the court."

The 24-year-old didn't show up for a scheduled test Oct. 15, according to prosecutors and Weiss. He is required to submit to random tests while awaiting sentencing on drug charges. Reid has acknowledged he had used heroin when he ran a red light and hit another car in January. Britt Reid is already in jail in an unrelated case after violating his bail conditions. He was charged in August with driving under the influence and drug violations. Police said they pulled over Britt Reid for suspicion of drunken driving and found painkillers, amphetamines and antidepressants when they searched him and his vehicle.

At the time, he was awaiting sentencing for a road-rage incident that happened the same day as his older brother's crash in January.

If Reid could have prevented the opponent's penetration, the outcome of the battle would likely have turned out differently.

You guess which one I'm talking about.

That's a sad situation much worse than the casual drug use I though it was. The kids have serious problems. My best to the parents.

According to ESPN news,Andy Reid is expected to resign after this season to devote more time to his family - Apparently the family is falling apart and he knows his absence has something to do with it or so he believes.

He has money. Best that he resign and feel he's done whatever he could do to salvage the horrific situation. I do not know what a parent can do when adult kids have gone hard wrong and show no desire to change. Best to the Reids.

Andy Reid has been a superb coach - If he had a QB who would not get sick and fold in crucial moments of a game he might have won a SB

Judge critical of Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid's home

By MARYCLAIRE DALE, Associated Press Writer
November 1, 2007

NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) -- A judge who sentenced Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid's sons on Thursday likened the coach's home to "a drug emporium" and questioned whether his adult sons should live there.

"There isn't any structure there that this court can depend upon," Montgomery County Judge Steven O'Neill said before sentencing Britt Reid to up to 23 months in jail plus probation.

"I'm saying this is a family in crisis," O'Neill said.

Earlier Thursday, O'Neill sentenced Garrett Reid, a drug addict and dealer who said he got a thrill out of selling drugs in "the 'hood," to up to 23 months in jail for smashing into another motorist's car while high on heroin.

O'Neill noted that searches of the Reid home found illegal and prescription drugs throughout the house. He said both boys had been overmedicated throughout much of their lives.

If you read the whole article the judge made comments like the Reid family home is a drug emporium; the boys appear to have been overmedicated their whole lives; the parents obviously love their sons but have to accept some accountability as the boys lived at home this whole time and did things like stash drugs in the family cars.

Ouch. I feel bad for the Reids, but this looks like a situation of either totally absent parents or totally enabling parents. Reid should take time off to deal with it, but I wonder if it is too late as these kids seem really far gone (smuggling 89 pills INTO jail in your butt? Yikes). Good luck to Andy and his wife. They are really going to need it.

Wow, the parents got killed by the judge, that's just too sad. I hope Andy Reid leaves now, and doesn't wait until the end of the season. I think they still have younger kids at home.

Just a bad situation. I like Reid a lot, I think he's a great coach, so I hope everything gets better for him and his family.

I wish I could open up some kind of boot camp / treatment center for these spoiled little brats. I'd march them until they dropped, they'd be whipped if they didn't do as ordered. That's what they need, a little discipline. And I'd collect money for it.

Instead it's "treatment", give them the "treatment" they need. I'd give them a boot right into their backside, that's what they need. The worms. Rich daddy and they still insist on screwing up?

If I were Reid, I would kick them OUT of the house immediately. A 24 year old living at home? Uh, don't think so. Let them be homeless for a while, see how that sobers them up. Losers.
