Florida sheriff sues Spring Break organizers saying event cost nearly $1M in overtime and led to stampedes

A Florida sheriff is suing two Georgia women, accusing them of organizing and promoting a “Spring Break Invasion” in Daytona Beach that spiraled into chaos and drove more than $800,000 in emergency policing costs, including helicopters and drones.

The lawsuit, filed Tuesday by Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood, seeks more than $100,000 in damages from Aliyah Brooks and Brittany Plummer, alleging their social media promotion of the “Daytona Spring Break 2k26” event strained law enforcement and endangered the public, according to the Daytona Beach News-Journal.
