Andy ReidGarrett Reid, one of the troubled sons of Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid, is back in prison after a fight in the halfway house where he had been staying.

NBC Philadelphia is reporting that the 26-year-old Garrett Reid is accused of beating up a fellow resident of the halfway house where he's been living as part of his court-ordered drug treatment.

As a result of the incident, Reid was taken immediately to Graterford Prison.

Garrett Reid has a long string of legal troubles. In May of last year, he pleaded guilty to smuggling drugs into his jail cell, a jail cell he was in because of a previous driving under the influence charge. His brother Britt Reid has also been charged with drug possession and with threatening another driver with a gun in a road rage incident.

A judge who presided over one of the cases involving the Reid brothers referred to the house that Andy Reid raised his sons in as a "drug emporium."
