Backstreet Boys’ Brian Littrell Sues Florida Sheriff’s Office over Beach Trespassers

WALTON COUNTY, FLORIDA, JUL 14 – Littrell alleges the sheriff's department ignored multiple requests to act against trespassers, forcing him to hire private security to protect his $3.8 million private beach property.

  • Brian Littrell of the Backstreet Boys recently initiated legal action in Walton County, Florida, alleging that the local sheriff’s office has not adequately prevented people from trespassing on his privately owned beachfront in Santa Rosa Beach.
  • The conflict centers on ongoing tensions between affluent beachfront homeowners and beachgoers regarding access rights, with recent state legislation returning regulatory authority to local governments.
  • Littrell's company, BLB Beach Hut LLC, installed no trespassing signs and sought sheriff enforcement, but alleges deputies repeatedly refused to remove trespassers or take any action despite numerous calls.
  • Lawsuit details include a May 4 incident where a deputy did not cite a trespasser who expressed opposition to private beaches, and a June 5 event where an alleged trespasser scattered legal documents after seizing them.
  • Littrell claims law enforcement's refusal to intervene forces him to rely on private security and signals broader risks to property rights if the sheriff continues to neglect its duties.
