On Friday, prosecutors charged 24-year-old Garrett Reid with five additional drug counts related to 89 pills he had smuggled into prison. His cellmate said he saw Reid remove the pills from his rectum and that Reid offered him some of the pills.
On Thursday night, police searched the Reid home to corroborate the cellmate's story. The coach's wife, Tammy Reid, provided investigators with prescriptions in Garrett Reid's name and a search of his room turned up other prescriptions in his brother's name. They also found two syringes and eight needles in his room, according to prosecutors.

Earlier Thursday, Montgomery County Judge Steven O'Neill called the Reids a "family in crisis" and questioned whether brothers Britt and Garrett Reid should return to their parents' home after they serve their jail terms.
"There isn't any structure there that this court can depend upon," O'Neill said.
The judge noted that the Reids love their sons and have supported them through repeated attempts at drug rehabilitation. But he wondered aloud how the parents could be blind to the long list of drugs, guns and ammunition that police found in the Reids' home and vehicles.
"These are highly addictive medications that are just around the house with two addicts in it," O'Neill said. "It sounds more or less like a drug emporium."
That same day, 22-year-old Britt Reid detailed his eight-year struggle with painkillers and other drugs as he was sentenced to eight to 23 months in jail for pointing a gun at another driver on Jan. 30. He also pleaded guilty to charges including carrying a firearm without a license.
Garrett Reid was sentenced to two to 23 months in jail for a high-speed crash in which another driver was injured. Police found heroin, steroids and more than 200 pills in his car and he admitted using heroin on the day of the crash.
Sounds like prescribed vicodents and opiates in house. Needles consistent with Heroin use. I think a docter is in trouble here soon.....
