Federal authorities have raided the Indiana home of Subway spokesman Jared Fogle.

The FBI's Indianapolis division confirmed the investigation to Business Insider, but would not disclose the reason for the raid.

Fox59 broke the news of the raid. It reports:

"FBI sources told FOX59 state and federal and state investigators were serving warrants at Fogle’s Zionsville home in connection with a child pornography investigation."

Fox59 notes that that earlier this year, the director of Fogle's charitable foundation, the Jared Foundation, was arrested in a child pornography case.

The foundation cut ties with the director, Russell Taylor, following his arrest.

We reached out to Subway for more information.

Fogle rose to fame 15 years ago after losing more than 200 pounds by eating Subway sandwiches.

The restaurant chain hired him to be an official spokesman, and today he has a net worth of $15 million, according to the New York Daily News.

He is worth $15 million? Whoa.

Is this just in relation to the foundation director or investigating Jared himself? I wish the story was more thorough.

Me too. I wonder why they'd be searching his home, though, as opposed to just the foundation office.

I wonder if there was shared equipment that they are seizing or electronics owned by the foundation in his house?

I hate to jump to conclusions about is involvement.

I read that Jared wasn't under arrest, so I wonder if they are looking for files from the foundation that he has in his home. I hope he's not involved.

i saw this and thought,"this sweet, sweet man could not have done this." Welp, I was wrong! It breaks your heart when you admire someone so much, and they just destroy your belief in them

He isn't the target per se, it's because the guy they found with child porn ran Jared's foundation so they are making sure he doesn't have anything (like if a friend asked you to hold onto a laptop or whatever).

Oh, you.

Subway just suspended ties with him. Not really surprised by that, but they just made it official.

Sick. It is the buzz all around town, because he is local.
