Brian Littrell Sues Sheriff Over Beach Trespassing

Backstreet Boys singer Brian Littrell has filed a lawsuit against the Walton County Sheriff's Office in Florida, alleging the department has repeatedly failed to remove or prosecute trespassers from his private beach despite his completion of a Trespass Authorization Form and clear signage. Littrell claims daily trespassers have harassed his family, prompting him to hire private security. The lawsuit cites incidents where deputies refused to act, including one caught on body camera expressing personal opposition to private beaches and labeling Littrell's enforcement efforts as 'lunacy.' Littrell is seeking a writ of mandamus to compel the sheriff’s office to uphold his property rights. The sheriff’s office has allegedly ignored repeated intervention requests, including a 911 operator hanging up on Littrell’s staff. The case underscores ongoing disputes over private property rights and law enforcement duties on Florida’s beaches.
