Backstreet Boys' Brian Littrell Sues Florida Sheriff Over Private Beach Trespassers

In a surprising turn of events, Backstreet Boys star Brian Littrell has taken legal action against a Florida county, alleging that the Walton County Sheriff's Department has failed to protect his private beach property on the Gulf Coast. Through his company, BLB Beach Hut LLC, Littrell has gone to great lengths to secure the area—posting 'no trespassing' signs and setting up clear markers like tables and umbrellas to delineate his property line. Yet, according to the lawsuit filed in a Florida court, these efforts have been met with defiance.

Littrell claims that trespassers have not only ignored the boundaries but have actively sought to harass and antagonize his family, turning what should be a peaceful retreat into a daily battle. Despite filing the necessary forms to authorize the sheriff's department to intervene, the suit alleges a shocking lack of response. On multiple occasions, including a particularly egregious incident on June 5 where legal documents were snatched and scattered across the beach, the department reportedly refused to act or even dispatch officers.

Perhaps most frustrating for Littrell is the apparent attitude of the sheriff's office. The lawsuit cites instances where deputies dismissed the notion of private beaches as 'lunacy' and openly disregarded requests to enforce property rights. This inaction, Littrell argues, sets a dangerous precedent—if law enforcement won't uphold the law, what does private property mean in Florida?

In a heartfelt statement, Littrell expressed his disappointment, noting that he purchased the home for quiet family vacations, only to find himself targeted by individuals who seem to resent his success. He questions why these trespassers bypass public beaches just to invade his backyard, and why the sheriff's department, despite having all required documentation, refuses to protect his rights as a homeowner.

This case raises broader questions about property rights and the responsibilities of local law enforcement. For now, Littrell is forced to rely on private security to safeguard his family, while his legal battle for justice—and a peaceful beach day—continues.
