On March 17, Pittman was additionally charged with felony larceny, felony possession of stolen goods, misdemeanor damage to coin/currency machine, misdemeanor break coin/currency machine and misdemeanor injury to personal property for a larceny that took place in August 2024. Pittman was served with the warrant and held without bond due to the Pre-trial Integrity Act. He appeared in court on March 18.
On March 20, additional evidence was seized at the Brinton Place home that investigators identified as more stolen goods. Among those items was a large display sign belonging to a Ramseur business on Jordan Road.
