Britt Reid, son of Philadelphia Eagles coach, graduates from court-ordered drug rehab program

Britt Reid graduates from Pa. drug court program

NORRISTOWN, Pa. — Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid’s 24-year-old son, Britt Reid, has graduated from a drug court program.

Reid enrolled in the program early last year after a series of run-ins with the law.

He was arrested in January 2007 in West Conshohocken on drug and weapons charges after he flashed a gun at another driver in a road-rage incident and police found small amounts of cocaine and marijuana in his vehicle.

Reid graduated on Wednesday from a 15-month treatment program at the Montgomery County Drug Court, but District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman said battling drug addiction is a lifelong process.

Reid’s parents, Andy and Tammy Reid, were in the courtroom for the graduation. Andy Reid called it a “big step” for his son.

While enrolled in the program, Britt Reid began working at a catering company. He now attends Montgomery County Community College and helps coach football at St. Joseph’s Preparatory School. He remains on probation for one year.

His older brother, Garrett, is serving a two-year sentence in a state program for drug treatment after he pleaded guilty to smuggling prescription pills into the Montgomery County jail. Last month, he was moved to state prison after he tested positive for narcotics upon returning to a halfway house from a furlough.
