According to the New York Post , the singer has refiled a lawsuit against retiree Carolyn Barrington Hill, 67, claiming she illegally set foot on his Santa Rosa property by using the beach in front of his US$3.8 million mansion in the Florida panhandle.
Judge Jonathan Schlechter threw out Littrell’s first lawsuit last week on a technicality, ruling the crooner couldn’t sue for emotional damages over his trespassing claims, but he gave the boy band member 20 days to bring a new version of his suit.
Now Littrell has brought seven new trespassing charges against Hill for allegedly walking onto the dry sand at the back of his home multiple times between April and September 2025.
The civil case in Walton County seeks unspecified damages.
Littrell initially sued Hill in September 2025 claiming under Florida law the public can only use the beach up to the high tide line behind private homes.
Singer used signs and beach furniture to ward off intruders
He further claimed Hill refused to leave the property, where he had installed private property signs and beach furniture, and went so far as to film him and his family without their consent
Littrell alleged her and other locals ignored his wish for them to vacate his land, as they sought to change the Sunshine State’s laws to make all beaches public.
His lawsuit claimed he was even forced to hire a private security guard to help him enforce his alleged property rights.
Hill’s lawyer, Heidi Mehaffey, has previously claimed in court the singer couldn’t prove her client crossed over the high tide line, adding his allegations were “vague.”
Mehaffey told The Post Thursday she believes the new lawsuit will also get tossed out.
“Ms. Hill remains steadfast in her position that every person, regardless of social or financial status, has the constitutional right to access and enjoy Florida’s beaches without fear of intimidation through litigation,” Mehaffey told The Post Thursday.
“The Florida Constitution protects Ms. Hill’s right to use the shoreline in Walton County, where she has recreated for decades and has never been cited for trespassing. No member of the public should be forced to risk costly litigation simply to enjoy Florida’s beaches as the Constitution guarantees.”
