Britt Reid, Eagles Coach's Son, Gets Traffic Tickets in Lower Merion

Britt Reid, son of Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid, was pulled over by state police in Lower Merion Township last Thursday and was issued three citations: careless driving, maximum speed limits, and tire equipment and traction surfaces, according to court documents.

The Villanova 26-year-old was pulled over by state Trooper Jeffrey M. Lambert on Thursday, June 28, court documents state.

According to a report on the Main Line Times' website, Lambert deferred comment to a state police public information officer.

State police did not release further details Tuesday afternoon but told Patch more information is forthcoming.

Reid’s case has been assigned to Magisterial District Judge Henry J. Schireson, according to court documents.

In 2007, Reid faced legal troubles related to gun and drug charges in a reported road rage accident. He was sentenced to eight to 23 months in jail plus five years probation, according to numerous media reports. He entered a 15-month drug rehabilitation program after serving four months in jail in 2008, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. Reid graduated from the drug court program in June 2009, according to the Associated Press.

His brother, Garrett, also was found guilty on unrelated drug charges in 2007.
