Garrett Reid to Plead Not Guilty to Pills in Prison Case

When 89 pills showed up in Garrett Reid's prison cell back in October, many assumed that they were smuggled in to prison via his rectum. According to Garrett's defense attorney, paper work was scheduled to be dropped off at the Montgomery County Courthouse today which would enter a not guilty plea in the prison-pill incident.

Earlier this week, Woodward met behind closed doors with prosecutors and Montgomery County Court Judge Steven T. O'Neill to discuss a parole plan for Reid. The judge said no decision will be made until a hearing is scheduled.

Reid, 24, is nearing the earliest date for parole from the Montgomery County Correctional Facility on charges from a January traffic accident. He pleaded guilty Nov. 1 in that case, and O'Neill sentenced him to two to 23 months in jail, leaving open the possibility that Reid be paroled into a drug-treatment court that O'Neill oversees.

While Andy's son could get the minimum sentence on the original charges which he plead guilty to, Garrett could be in for quite a long stint behind bars for the pill charge. If Garrett were found guilty on the latest charge he would face a "minimum-mandatory two-year jail term."

It's just the latest in the long, tenuous drama the Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid and his family have gone through in the past year. For more on this story, check out our Garrett Reid archives.
