The FBI Raided the Home of Subway Guy Jared Fogle

Did Fogel have anything to do with his former business partner's child porn scandal?

This morning, America's weight-loss hero and former Subway spokesperson Jared Fogle and his family were woken up by the sound of FBI agents and police at their door. Fogle's home was raided as part of a child pornography investigation, according to the New York Daily News. According to the local Fox station on the scene, the raid began at 6:30 a.m. in Zionsville, Indiana, and Fogle is not under arrest.

The raid was likely related to Russell Taylor, a former director at Fogel's Fared Foundation, who was arrested and convicted of possessing child pornography earlier this year. Electronics and media were taken out of Fogel's home this morning. Authorities have not commented on whether Fogel could also be guilty of harboring child pornography, but the electronics confiscated from his home are currently in the care of forensics experts.

Subway has not responded to requests for comment from the Indy Star or other local news outlets.

Jared Fogel is known as The Subway Guy, and famously lost more than 200 pounds while eating a diet mainly consisting of Subway sandwiches. Fogel's real-life story propelled him to fame and fortune in the early-aughts, with Subway profiting along the way.
