Parole Denied For Garrett Reid

NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) ― The oldest son of Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid will not be home for the holidays. He will still be in the Montgomery County jail.


Twenty-four-year-old Garrett Reid was due to be paroled from prison on Christmas Eve, but Judge Steven O'Neill denied parole Tuesday.

O'Neill had intended to put Reid in an intensive drug court program, but that has been complicated by charges that Reid smuggled 89 pills into the prison the week he was sentenced for a DUI crash.

Deputy Attorney General Marc Costanzo says the charges are very serious and must be dealt with by the district attorney and Reid's lawyer.

O'Neill tells KYW-AM in Philadelphia that Reid needs a treatment program for his heroin addiction and returning home does not appear to be an option at this point.
