ZIONSVILLE, Ind. (AP) — Subway says a raid at the Zionsville, Indiana, home of its spokesman Jared Fogle is likely linked to an investigation into an employee at the foundation he founded to combat childhood obesity.

In a brief emailed statement, the restaurant chain expresses shock and concern at the raid on Fogle’s home.

Subway says the company believes the raid “is related to a prior investigation of a former Jared Foundation employee.”

In May, federal prosecutors in Indianapolis charged 43-year-old Russell Taylor with seven counts of production of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography. Taylor is the former head of the Jared Foundation.

Fogle became a Subway spokesman after losing 245 pounds by regularly eating Subway sandwiches.
