CHICAGO - A reality TV star was sentenced in connection with mail theft last summer in Chicago.
Dylan Smith, who appeared on Season 3 of the reality TV show "Love After Lockup," has been convicted of felony burglary following a joint investigation by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the Chicago Police Department.
The backstory:
Smith was arrested on June 4, 2024, in connection with a May 2024 burglary and mail theft at a local condominium building. Authorities said Smith used a U.S. Postal Service key to access a panel mailbox and steal mail.
He pleaded guilty in Cook County Criminal Court and was sentenced to 244 days in jail, credited as time served, and two years of supervised release.
