State and federal authorities descended Tuesday on the Indiana home of Subway spokesman Jared Fogle, just over two months after the former director of his charitable foundation was arrested on child pornography charges.

Fogle, 37, who became the sandwich chain's spokesman in 2000 after losing weight as a freshman at Indiana University by eating an all-Subway diet, lives in the Indianapolis suburb of Zionsville. Authorities did not say if Tuesday's search warrants were connected to the arrest of his former associate.

Investigators from the FBI, State Police and Postal Service arrived at 6:30 a.m. at Fogle's home, where an evidence truck was parked in the driveway, according to the Indianapolis Star. The newspaper reported that electronics were taken from Fogle's home and analyzed in the truck. Fogle, who could not be reached for comment, was home during the search and was seen entering and leaving the evidence truck.

"We are shocked about the news and believe it is related to a prior investigation of a former Jared Foundation employee."

That's crazy that they suspended him.  If anyone says "hello" to someone who ends up in sex crimes with minors, they get sucked into it, even though they can be totally innocent.

My question is, why was the media tipped off?
This should never been made public.

yeah, that's a good point....  unless he had a caravan of feds outside of his house and his neighbors ratted him out... but, then again, how would they know it was about child porn, so yeah, someone leaked this out for some reason.  I, personally, don't like that Subway suspended him like that.

Hmmm, was Subway using him? Did they want out of their contractual agreement?
Even bad publicity can be good when it's free.

Yeah, something stinks here. Hell, maybe they are trying to get out ahead of an even bigger scandal?
