Future of Subway Pitchman’s Foundation Unclear After Raid

INDIANAPOLIS (AP): A foundation suspended Subway restaurant pitchman Jared Fogle created to encourage children to avoid the same obesity he overcame in college faces an uncertain future.
 
A phone number to the Jared Foundation Incorporated was out of service and its website was down Wednesday, a day after federal and state authorities seized electronics and other items from Fogle's suburban Indianapolis home.
 
Fogle attorney Ron Elberger says his 37-year-old client is cooperating with authorities “in their investigation of unspecified charges.''
 
The raid followed the arrest in May of the foundation's then-executive director, Russell Taylor, on child pornography charges.
 
Taylor oversaw operations of the foundation, through which Fogle visited schools urging children to adopt healthy eating and exercise habits.
