‘We’re Going to Tear Your Little Playhouse Down’ [WATCH]

Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey announced Monday that a condemned house appearing on the sheriff’s “High Intensity Target” list is being torn down after repeated calls for service involving drugs, shootings, and other criminal activity.

Sheriff Ivey said the property had long been a danger to the neighborhood and had been declared uninhabitable. The demolition follows a legal process to remove what he described as a “nuisance property” linked to drug use and violence.

In a video statement, Sheriff Ivey said, “Hello everyone. I’m Sheriff Wayne Ivey, the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, and this house right here. Yeah, it made the sheriff’s high intensity target list. So you know what’s happening. We’re going to take these and we’re going to tear this piece of crap down.”

He added, “We’ve had repeated calls for service here—drugs, flop house, all sorts of craziness, people shooting in there, everything else. You might remember this place, though, because out front is where they put all the graffiti up talking about how much they hated the sheriff’s office and how they didn’t like me.”

“Well, guess what? Now they got a reason not to like me, because we’re going to tear their little playhouse down,” Ivey said before turning to his team.

“David, you ready? Terry, you ready? Let’s go tear that playhouse down.”

Addressing critics who might question the legality of the demolition, Ivey said, “Before any of you soft on crime, little cry babies start talking and saying, oh, you can’t do that, it’s illegal—everything we’re doing is legal. We’ve done it the right way, with the proper paperwork and everything else.”

He added, “Folks, I wouldn’t let anybody live in this. It’s uninhabitable. It is festered with drugs and everything else. This place is not safe for anybody. It’s been condemned, and we are taking it out.”

Ivey said the house is one of several properties identified as community threats due to illegal activity. He said demolishing such sites helps keep neighborhoods safe and deters future criminal activity.

“So everybody, you see what happens when you sell drugs, have a flop house, nuisance house, all of the above,” Ivey said.

“Because once you make the sheriff’s high intensity target list, we’re coming. This team right here—this is our unit—and we’re going to tear your little playhouse down.”

Offering a warning to others, he continued, “So here’s the thing—you don’t want your playhouse torn down? Don’t break the law. Don’t do drugs. Don’t be a nuisance house. Don’t have prostitution. All of those things. Don’t annoy your neighbors, because we’re not going to have it.”

“We’re going to have peace in our neighborhoods,” he said.

“And if you don’t want to be on our social media site, don’t break the law in Brevard County.”

The sheriff’s office confirmed that the property had been condemned by county officials and that the demolition followed proper procedures.

Sheriff Ivey said his department will continue targeting nuisance properties throughout Brevard County, adding that residents deserve safe and peaceful neighborhoods free from drug activity and violent behavior.
