Elijah Blue Allman, the son of music icon Cher, has experienced significant legal troubles recently. He was arrested on two occasions within three days due to separate incidents in New Hampshire.
First Arrest at St. Paul’s School
On Friday, Elijah, 49, was taken into custody after behaving aggressively at St. Paul’s School in Concord. Reports indicated that he had no connection to the institution.
- Date of Incident: Friday
- Location: St. Paul’s School, Concord, New Hampshire
- Charges:
- Two counts of simple assault
- Criminal trespass
- Criminal threatening
- Disorderly conduct
Police responded to complaints about Allman disturbing patrons in the dining hall around 7 p.m. He was charged with several misdemeanors and a violation, later released on bail.
Second Arrest for Burglary
Just two days later, on Sunday, Allman was arrested again, this time for breaking into a home in Windham, New Hampshire. A resident called 911, reporting that an intruder had entered her house.
- Date of Incident: Sunday
- Location: Windham, New Hampshire
- Charges:
- Burglary
- Two counts of criminal mischief
- Breach of bail conditions
Upon arrival, officers found broken glass and a shattered door. They discovered Allman sitting on the couch, claiming he had permission to enter the home. However, both the homeowner and her husband denied granting such permission. A pack of cigarettes and a lighter were found, which did not belong to the homeowners, alongside a fresh cigarette burn on the living room rug.
Current Status and Legal Consequences
Allman is currently held in preventive detention. His arraignment is set for April 20 at Concord District Court. This second arrest raised concerns about his ongoing legal issues following a previous incident.
Background and Family Relations
Elijah Blue Allman’s recent arrests come after his mother, Cher, sought a conservatorship for him in December 2023. She cited significant mental health and substance abuse challenges, expressing fears that he could misuse inheritance funds from his late father, musician Gregg Allman.
- Conservatorship Filed: December 2023
- Outcome: Cher withdrew the petition in September 2024 after reaching a private agreement with Allman.
This case highlights the ongoing struggles within the Allman family as they navigate complex personal and legal challenges.
