There are two high-profile names back in the news today. Both are in trouble again.
The eldest son of Eagles coach Andy Reid is back in hot water. He’s also back in prison. Graterford Prison, in fact.
Garrett Reid, 26, apparently failed a drug test that was administered as he returned to a halfway house where he was undergoing court-ordered drug treatment. He also is believed to have gotten into a fight with another resident.
Reid was returning to the Luzerne Treatment Center after an approved leave and was administered a drug test on his return. Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Ferman indicated Reid was found to have some kind of controlled substance in his system.
Reid first ran afoul of the law a few years back when he was involved in a serious accident and admitted to being high on heroin at the time. He failed a drug test while on probation and was sentenced to 23 months.
Then he was charged with trying to smuggle prescription pills into prison.
Garrett’s younger brother Britt also has had run-ins with the police.
There are also more legal issues this morning for a member of the troubled O’Neill family.
Roisin O’Neill, 22, who is awaiting trial on charges stemming from a crash where it is alleged that she was driving the wrong way on the Blue Route while under the influence, then slamming into another car and killing the driver, stands accused of violating the terms of her bail.
The Montco D.A. was in court yesterday asking a judge to revoke O’Neill’s bail. They say O’Neill was in a car full of kids that was stopped during a DUI checkpoint. A bottle of wine was found in the car.
Several of the kids were cited for under underage drinking. O’Neill was not. She denied any wrongdoing.
Her lawyers argued against her bail being revoked, citing the extensive treatment she continues to undergo stemming from injuries she suffered in the accident.
The judge is mulling some kind of compromise, possibly jail on weekends, along with treatment and monitoring during the week.
Her brother Sean O’Neill is completing a probationary sentence handed down in the juvenile court for his role in an accidental shooting that took the life of his best friend.
Their father, Sean O’Neill Sr., recently entered a plea in federal court to a slew of tax, immigration and fraud charges. He is likely facing jail time, followed by deportation.
