In the beginning of his senior year in September 1997, Pittman was charged with burglary and theft when he allegedly broke into a girlfriend’s apartment, and as a result he was given a 30-day jail sentence and five years of probation, as well a suspension from Florida State.[1] However, he was later reinstated and played the last four games of the 1997 season, including the Sugar Bowl.[2]

In May 1998, he allegedly committed sexual battery in a bar in Tallahassee, which constituted a probation violation.[3] Facing potentially three and a half years in prison, he was instead ordered to pay a $5,000 fine and perform 500 hours of community service.[4]

Pittman is married to former Lauren Nicole Wride since 2010, and resides in Winter Garden, Florida.[5]
