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

SANTA ROSA BEACH, WALTON COUNTY, FLORIDA, JUL 14 – Littrell alleges deputies ignored legal authorizations and calls to remove daily trespassers from his private beach, forcing him to hire security and seek a court order.

  • Brian Littrell, a member of the Backstreet Boys, recently filed a lawsuit in Walton County, Florida, accusing the sheriff's office of neglecting to prevent trespassers from entering his valuable oceanfront property.
  • Littrell's company purchased the Santa Rosa Beach property in 2023 for $3.8 million, and since then, numerous trespassers have regularly antagonized, bullied, and harassed his family on the beach.
  • The lawsuit alleges the sheriff's department repeatedly refused requests to remove trespassers, enforce the law, or charge offenders despite BLB Beach Hut LLC following all required procedures and authorizations.
  • Littrell expressed that he purchased the property to enjoy peaceful vacations and criticized deputies for not taking action, while representatives from the sheriff’s office declined to discuss ongoing legal matters but emphasized their commitment to professionalism.
  • This dispute reflects the broader Florida tension over beach access rights, where private property owners seek enforcement amid public beach access laws and recent state legislation restoring local control.
