Garrett Reid Expected To Waive Formal Arraignment

NORRISTOWN (KYW 1060) ―

The eldest son of Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid was expected to waive his formal arraignment in a Montgomery County courtroom Thursday as his case on drug smuggling charges moves forward.

Garrett Reid remains behind bars on $50,000 bail charged with smuggling nearly 90 pills into the county prison in late October. He faces a two-year mandatory sentence on the contraband charge, but defense attorney Tim Woodward is hopeful that he can work out some type of resolution to the case without a lengthy sentence.

Prosecutors say Reid brought the pills into the prison inside a body cavity just days before he was sentenced to two to 23 months in jail for causing a car crash nearly a year ago while he was high on heroin.

He was supposed to be released Christmas Eve, but that was denied by the judge who wasn't satisfied that an appropriate parole plan was in place.
