Fogle, wearing tan shorts and a dark T-shirt, was photographed early Tuesday by The Indianapolis Star stepping out of a police evidence van parked outside his home. At the time, Fogle released a statement saying that the foundation was severing ties with Taylor.

Subway is suspending their partnership with Jared Fogle amid the investigation of his link to child pornography.
Fogle rose to fame 15 years ago after losing more than 200 pounds by eating Subway sandwiches.
It’s unclear if the Tuesday raid on Fogle’s home was in any way related to Taylor’s arrest.
A neighbor who asked not to be identified by name said Fogle has lived in the home for about four years and that the family members generally keep to themselves.
According to The Indianapolis Star, a woman was exchanging texts of a sexual nature with Taylor when he asked if she wanted to see pictures of young girls, court documents said. Local station Fox 59 reported from outside the property where a crowd had gathered as FBI agents came in and out of the house. Fogle has not been arrested. Taylor was arrested in April after police found tons of child porn in his possession.
Fogle was seen at his Zionsville, Indiana, home during the search this morning.
– SUBWAY® (@SUBWAY) July 7, 2015We are shocked about the news & believe it is related to a former Jared Foundation employee.
“We are very concerned and will be monitoring the situation closely”, a Subway spokesman said.
Oh, one minor point before Fogle’s life is destroyed, in case we haven’t already reached that moment after three hours of social-media banter: Is there any confirmation anywhere that he’s the target of this investigation? He was jailed, and attempted to commit suicide.

First starring in Subway ads in 2000, Fogle quickly became the chain’s most notable face, using the story of his “Subway diet” to help portray the deli chain as a healthy alternative to its fast-food competitors.
