Volusia County sheriff sues promoters of chaotic Daytona Beach spring break events

The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office is suing the promoters of several unpermitted spring break events in Daytona Beach in March, which led to dozens of arrests and several shootings. “From here on out, if you come here and you promote an unsanctioned, unpermitted event, we’re coming after you civilly,” Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said at a news conference Friday. Chitwood is working with local attorney Aaron Delgado to bring the lawsuits against the promoters, including a promoter named Aliyah Brooks and one named Brittany Plummer. There are seven separate lawsuits, with more on the way, Delgado said.
