ZIONSVILLE, Ind. (July 7, 2015) – Federal authorities raided the home of Subway spokesman Jared Fogle Tuesday morning. FBI sources told CBS4 federal and state investigators were serving warrants at Fogle’s Zionsville home in connection with a child pornography investigation.

The raid started around 6:30 a.m. Tuesday. An evidence truck could be seen parked in the driveway. Investigators from the FBI and Indiana State Police were at the scene.

Fogle left his residence shortly after noon. He made no comment as he left the scene in a car with his attorney.

Fogle’s lawyer, Ron Elberger, told FOX59 Fogle was not aware of the FBI search warrant prior to the raid.

Elberger released the following comment:

Jared has been cooperating with law enforcement and its investigation of certain unspecified activities and looks forward to its conclusion.

Jared has not been arrested, detained or charged with anything.

Earlier this year, Russell Taylor, the former director of the Jared Foundation started by Fogle, was arrested in a child pornography case. He was accused of possessing and producing child pornography. Investigators said a search of Taylor’s home turned up more than 500 videos with images of child pornography. Taylor unsuccessfully tried to kill himself while in jail.

Fogle said the foundation severed all ties with Taylor following the arrest. Investigators wouldn’t say if Tuesday’s raid was connected to that case.

Fogle gained national fame after attributing massive weight loss to eating Subway sandwiches. He was a freshman at Indiana University at the time. He later became a visible presence in Subway ad campaigns, pitching the restaurant’s sandwiches and touting their health benefits.

A Subway spokesperson released the following statement:

We are shocked about the news and believe it is related to a prior investigation of a former Jared Foundation employee. We are very concerned and will be monitoring the situation closely. We don’t have any more details at this point.

Maybe he took the whole freshness thing too literally? Pretty crazy.

If Jared is found to have been involved in child pornography, he will have blown one of the cushiest jobs on the planet. And it should be noted that Subway has already cut ties with Jared until further notice. Apparently innocent until proven guilty doesn't apply for Subway.

From the OP it looks like Fogle might not be personally involved himself, maybe it's just Russell Taylor. Hopefully Jared is innocent.

I lost like 10 lbs eating double quarter pounders at McDonalds for a month. They should hire me as a spokesperson.

Five Fast facts on this whole mess: LINK

Looks like Jared might not be the pervert that we all thought and it looks like he's cooperating with the police at the moment.

Well if this is part of the prior investigation......it's going to hurt the dude anyway. Look how quick everyone in here jumped on his guilt.
