Love after lockup and Life after lockup star Earl Chance Pitt pleaded guilty to multiple felony charges Thursday and was sentenced to three years in prison, Starcasm can exclusively reveal.
According to court records, Chance pleaded guilty to the following charges:
Alteration of Motor Vehicle – 1st Degree (Felony)
Leaving the scene of an accident with property damage over $1,000 (felony)
Make a false statement to mislead a public servant (misdemeanor)
The charges stem from an incident in December 2023. Chance crashed his pickup truck and left the scene on foot. He later stole a woman’s car from a hospital parking lot and used her credit card to make purchases at several convenience stores.
Chance later told police his truck had been stolen before the crash. That lie resulted in the false accusation.
For each of the charges, Chance was sentenced to three years in prison. For the misdemeanor charge, he was sentenced to six months in prison. The sentences are concurrent, so the maximum time Chance will serve is three years.
The information currently available through the courts does not indicate how much time Chance will have to serve before he is eligible for parole. There is also no indication of how much credit he received for time served.
Chance has been in custody since October last year after he was arrested on an outstanding warrant for non-attendance.

CHANCE PITT STILL FACES ADDITIONAL CHARGES
Chance Pitt isn’t out of the woods just yet when it comes to his pending legal issues.
It’s the 45-year-old former reality star still facing a DWI charge from 10 days before his truck accident in 2023.
There is also an active felony domestic battery charge against Chance in Indiana after he allegedly pushed his pregnant girlfriend Alyssa out of a moving car in August 2024. The last court document in that case was from the same month the charges were filed.
Alyssa wrote a letter to the court asking that the DV charge against Chance be dropped. Alyssa received a response from the court informing her that this is not how things work. “The court again reminds the alleged victim that it cannot and will not communicate, read or respond to such communications,” the document states. “The court respectfully requests that the alleged victim cease attempting to send communications to the court.”

In addition to the DWI and felony domestic battery charge, Chance is still on parole from his 22-year prison sentence for rob a bank and a salon in 2019. Court documents in that case have no mention of a potential parole violation for Chance’s multiple arrests over the past few years. But his girlfriend Alyssa had made several posts indicating that Chance is being looked at for a potential violation.
“I have the OFFICIAL parole hearing DOCUMENTS on chances RELEASE and for all of you who don’t know shit and keep saying 22 years, who of you wants to know what that is? 🤣🤣” Alyssa wrote on Facebook on June 6th.
One commenter asked what Chance did to deserve parole. “He left (the state) with me without parole 😮💨,” Alyssa replied. “A decision we regret, but then we decided to stay when we found out I was pregnant with our son, who has spina bifida, and the doctors specialized in his rare case at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. It was about our son, and when he was stable and had the doctor’s clearance, we moved back and he checked himself in.”
