NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A son of Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid is heading to state prison after admitting he smuggled narcotics into his Montgomery County Jail cell.

Garrett Reid pleaded guilty to drug smuggling charges on Wednesday. The 25-year-old faces a minimum of two years in state prison.

Jail officials say they found 89 pills in his cell. Reid is serving time in the county jail for a heroin-fueled car crash that injured a motorist.

District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman says he may qualify for a prison drug-treatment program that could reduce his time.

His 23-year-old brother, Britt Reid, is in a county drug-court program after pleading guilty to separate drug and gun charges.
