Law enforcement officials in Florida are taking a public approach to cracking down on spring break disruptions, using social media posts to highlight arrests and evictions involving college students accused of unruly behavior near Miramar Beach, as reported by The New York Post.

The Walton County Sheriff’s Office has drawn attention online after posting a series of updates on X detailing encounters with students from multiple universities.

The posts describe incidents ranging from loud parties and property damage to arrests tied to underage drinking and disorderly conduct.

In one post addressing a group of University of Alabama students, the department wrote, “Allow us to address the elephant in the room. Yea, Alabama. Evicted before 7 pm. That’s gotta be a new record.”

The post followed an incident on Tuesday that began when a property manager contacted deputies around 5 p.m., requesting assistance with evicting a group hosting a party inside a rental home near Miramar Beach.

According to the sheriff’s office, deputies responded as the group was being removed from the property, which the post suggested had been the site of a loud gathering.

Another incident involved students from the University of Texas.

In a separate post, the department stated, “HOOK ‘EM…. up. Texas is on the board, folks,” announcing that four students — one 18-year-old and three 19-year-olds — were arrested after deputies responded to a noise complaint just after midnight Monday at a rental property in the same area.

Authorities said the group was charged with open house party violations, while one of the 19-year-olds also faced a charge for possessing a fake ID.

The sheriff’s office added, “Mess with the bull, get the horns,” referencing the university’s Longhorns mascot.

The post noted that the group had been staying at the same rental property where another incident had occurred less than a week earlier involving Louisiana State University students.

“If you’re getting a little deja vu, it’s because less than a week ago, this property management company had a tiger by the tail with this address. Yep. This is the same location LSU was told to vacate just a few short days ago,” the sheriff’s office wrote.

On March 11, deputies were called to that property around 3 a.m. after a security guard reported a student throwing glass bottles into the street. According to authorities, the bottles nearly struck the guard. Officers arriving on scene found broken glass and empty alcohol containers covering the driveway and roadway. A 19-year-old was arrested and later admitted to throwing the bottles from a balcony.

“Taking one for his Tiger team,” the department wrote. “Time to Geaux!”

Another post detailed the arrest of a 19-year-old University of Mississippi student on March 12.

Deputies responding to a call about a house party reported that the interior of the rental home was “trashed with beer cans and liquor bottles everywhere.” The individual was charged with minor possession of alcohol and an open house party.

“Whether it’s loud parties, property damage, or dangerous behavior, evictions will leave you heading back to the Sip without your deposit and no refund. So here’s your friendly reminder: There’s no Hotty Toddy in a jail lobby,” the sheriff’s office wrote.

The department also addressed criticism of its enforcement approach in another post, writing, “lEt tHeM bE kIdS yOu pArTy pOoPeRs…” followed by an explanation that such behavior must still be conducted responsibly.

“That can be done respectfully and with your neighbors in mind. Not by getting multiple calls in the middle of the night for being rowdy, Cowboy. No Pokes to the ‘ol Pokey this time. But, they ain’t stayin’ here,” the post stated.

The Walton County Sheriff’s Office did not respond to inquiries on Wednesday regarding the incidents or the social media posts.
