Different sons and fathers locally famous for different reasons. This time, the sons aren't these guys, but the sons of Eagles Coach Andy Reid, who lives in Villanova.

Boys will be boys, only these boys, Andy Reid's sons are adults. Granted, the pressure of having a famous father must be tough. And we feel badly for Andy and Tammy Reid as this is probably not so easy to live through and deal with. Of course, at the end of the day it remains to be seen what happens and what is the truth....As they say, the rich are different...Interesting to note, the Reids are Mormons, which makes this sound a little like "Big Love" on HBO.....here are the articles:

Philadelphia Inquirer: Report links Reid son to guns

Police in two suburban municipalities and the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office are continuing investigations into separate traffic incidents involving two of Eagles coach Andy Reid's sons.

The first incident, on Tuesday morning, involved Britt Reid, a second man, and a gun....NBC10, quoting a law enforcement source, reported last night that investigators found a gun in Britt Reid's car, and a platinum handgun during a search of the Reid home Tuesday night in Villanova. That gun was reportedly in a lockbox in the basement.

......In the second traffic incident, police said they found Garrett Reid in possession of drug paraphernalia after he was involved in an automobile accident Tuesday afternoon.

The Reids and the Eagles declined to discuss the incidents.

....The incident involving Britt Reid, 21, was a confrontation with another man on Matson Ford Road in West Conshohocken. The second man has not been identified.

"There was a report of an incident where a gun was displayed," said Ferman. She would not say who handled the weapon.

Local police would say only that they were investigating an incident involving Britt Reid.

Later Tuesday, Garrett Reid, 23, drove his Jeep Liberty SUV through a red light at Germantown Pike and Arch Road in Plymouth Township and collided with a Ford Taurus, police said.

The other driver, a 55-year-old woman from Mount Carmel, Northumberland County, was flown to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania after the midafternoon accident.

She was treated late Tuesday night and released. Police have not identified her.

During the investigation, drug paraphernalia was found on Garrett Reid, according to Joseph Lawrence, deputy police chief for Plymouth Township. Speed was a factor in the accident, police said.

Garrett Reid, who was not injured in the accident, submitted to alcohol and drug testing. Results will be available in a few weeks.

According to official state electronic court records, in 2001, Garrett Reid pleaded guilty to three speeding charges, operating a vehicle without a valid inspection, and disregarding a traffic-control device in Radnor Township.

In April, Britt Reid pleaded guilty to speeding in Philadelphia and was fined $132.50.

Britt Reid is also a defendant in a lawsuit involving a Wynnewood man, Murray Nathanson, who says he was injured in a 2002 accident involving Reid.

Philadelphia Daily News:East Coast offenses?Andy Reid's oldest sons tied to drug paraphernalia, gunplay

ANDY REID'S children aren't supposed to drink alcohol, smoke or even sip hot tea. That's because the family practices the Mormon faith.

But now authorities say that Garrett Reid, the Eagles head coach's oldest son, was found with drug paraphernalia after he crashed his SUV into another car on Tuesday. And Britt Reid, the next oldest, allegedly displayed a gun to another driver in a road-rage incident the same day.

Neighbors and others who know the family expressed shock and disbelief over the reports....Yet it was that alleged gun-related incident on Tuesday and a car crash involving Garrett that made Andy and his wife, Tammy, cut short a California vacation to return home. Garrett, 23, and Britt, 21, have been living at home with their parents.

About noon yesterday, at the family home on Page Terrace, Andy Reid zoomed up his sloping driveway in his black Lincoln Navigator SUV, then rushed into a side door of his home, refusing to speak with reporters.

A half-hour later, Lower Merion Township police arrived at the two-story stucco-stone mini-mansion covered with ivy, and asked reporters not to go onto the property.

While the Reids are known for their religious faith, this was not Garrett's first dustup with the law.....On July 2, 2004, Garrett, then 21, was arrested in Lower Merion Township on charges of retail theft, according to law-enforcement sources, although the resolution of that case was unclear last night.

And on April 9, 2002, sources said, Garrett was arrested in Utah for possessing narcotics. He paid a $643 fine and was ordered to attend drug-counseling classes.

....According to court records, Garrett Reid has a pile of speeding tickets. In 2001, he was stopped for driving 74 mph in a 55-mph zone in Chester County. And twice in 2004, he got tickets for driving more than 5 mph above the speed limit in Montgomery County....After the crash, investigators filed search warrants for Reid's home and the SUV that Britt was driving, NBC 10 reported. Police recovered two weapons - one from the SUV and a platinum handgun from the Reid home, NBC 10 reported.

Law-enforcement sources said that neither Andy Reid nor his two oldest sons have permits to carry weapons or guns registered in their names.

....Weisz said it was her understanding that the Reid children, because of their strict Mormon faith, are not permitted to drink alcohol or anything with caffeine.

...."I'm kind of upset about what I heard," Dan Fanning Sr., a former assistant football coach who had trained both sons, said yesterday from his Elkton, Md., home. "These are really very nice young men."

Fanning, who also worked as a discipline aide during the school day, said Garrett and Britt "had absolutely no discipline problems."
