Cher’s son Elijah Blue Allman, 49, faces multiple criminal charges in New Hampshire following two arrests that occurred within days of each other.
In Windsor, law enforcement charged Elijah Allman with burglary, two counts of criminal mischief and breach of bail after officers responded to a March 1 emergency call from a woman who reported someone had broken into her home while she hid in a closet.
Authorities observed a shattered glass door at the scene. Inside, an officer found Elijah Allman seated on the living room couch smoking a cigarette. The Windsor Police Department confirmed that Elijah Allman did not have permission to be there and had forcibly entered the home.
Elijah Allman told officers he had permission to break the glass door and enter, but the 911 caller and her husband disputed that claim. The woman reported nothing appeared missing from the house.
The breach-of-bail allegation stems from an earlier arrest in Concord on February 27. At that time, authorities were notified Elijah Allman was an “unwanted guest” at St. Paul’s School, a boarding school with which he has no known affiliation. He was seen in the dining hall and described as “causing a disturbance and acting belligerently.” Following that incident, Elijah Allman was charged with two counts of simple assault, criminal trespassing, criminal threatening and disorderly conduct. He was later released on personal recognizance bail.
The recent arrests add to a series of legal developments involving the musician, who is the son of singer Cher and the late Gregg Allman of the Allman Brothers Band. In December 2023, Cher filed a petition in Los Angeles County Superior Court seeking a conservatorship, alleging her son suffered from “severe mental health and substance abuse issues.” Court documents stated he was unable to manage his financial assets due to these struggles. Elijah Allman objected in subsequent filings, and in September 2024, Cher withdrew the request.
Less than a year before the New Hampshire arrests, deputies with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department responded to a Landers, California residence regarding a man acting erratically. When authorities arrived, Elijah Allman was being evaluated by medical personnel. Deputies later found drugs inside the home. Elijah Allman has a decades-long history of substance abuse.
