(Radio.com) Jared Fogle is famous for losing weight on his own Subway diet, but on Tuesday he was the subject of an FBI sweep for child pornography. Fox59 in Indiana reports that the feds raided his home in Zionsville, Ind., Tuesday morning (July 7) "in connection with a child pornography investigation."

Russell Taylor, the former executive director of the Jared Foundation that was started by Fogle in 2004 with a mission to eliminate childhood obesity, was arrested in April of 2015 and charged with child exploitation, possession of child pornography and voyeurism. Authorities did not say if their sweep of Fogle's home now was related to that case.

Subway announced Tuesday afternoon they are suspending their relationship with Jared Fogle due to the investigation, but that Fogle "is cooperating with authorities."

"Jared continues to cooperate with authorities and he expects no actions to be forthcoming," Subway's Cindy Carraquilla told the Indianapolis Star. "Both Jared and Subway agree that this was the appropriate step to take." Read more here.
