Authorities in suburban Indianapolis raided the home of Jared Fogle, the longtime pitchman for Subway, early Tuesday morning, The Indianapolis Star is reporting.

FBI, State Police and Postal Service investigators were seen outside the residence and an evidence truck was parked in his driveway, the paper reported. At one point, Fogle was seen leaving the truck, acccording to the Star.

Details about why authorities were at the home were not immediately available, but it comes roughly nearly two months after Russell Taylor, 43, the executive director of Fogle’s foundation, was arrested in Indianapolis on federal child pornography charges, the paper reported. Russell attempted suicide in the wake of the arrest.

Fogle, the now-famous Subway promoter was a 425-pound student at Indiana University in March 1988 attempting to lose weight. After having no luck with other diets, he decided to try eating Subway sandwiches after seeing a sign in the restaurant window advertising sandwiches with 6 grams of fat or less.

According to the Star, Fogle started the nonprofit Jared Foundation to raise money and awareness for programs that fight childhood obesity.
