Elijah Blue Allman, the 49-year-old son of pop icon Cher and the late Gregg Allman, now sits in preventive detention after police arrested him twice in a single weekend, first at an elite private school, then inside a stranger’s home.
The back-to-back arrests in New Hampshire paint a grim picture. Allman allegedly forced his way into a Windham residence on Sunday, just days after causing a disturbance at St. Paul’s School in Concord. A judge ordered him held on preventive detention after his March 2 arraignment at Salem District Court.
Fox News Digital reported that the Windham Police Department confirmed authorities responded Sunday to a report of a residential break-in involving forced entry. Officers arrived and found someone inside who had no right to be there.
The department stated officers:
“located an individual inside the residence who did not have permission to be there and had forcibly entered the home.”
Allman was taken into custody without incident. Police charged him with burglary, two counts of criminal mischief, and breach of bail.
The details get worse. Newsmax reported that officers found Allman “seated on the living room couch smoking a cigarette” inside the stranger’s home, citing a CBS News account. Police said he had entered through a shattered glass door. The 911 call came in around 9:45 a.m. about an unknown man breaking in from the back door.
The Sunday break-in was Allman’s second arrest in three days. On Friday, Feb. 27, Concord police responded around 7 p.m. to St. Paul’s School, one of New Hampshire’s most prestigious private high schools, after reports that Allman was causing a disturbance in the school’s dining hall.
Officers charged him with four misdemeanors:
He also faced a violation of disorderly conduct, which, as The Associated Press noted in reporting cited by Fox News Digital, is not considered a crime in New Hampshire despite being illegal. After the Friday arrest, police released Allman on bail while his case moved through the courts.
That bail didn’t last long.
The breach-of-bail charge tied to the Sunday arrest connects directly to the Friday incident. Breitbart noted that Allman, listed as a Malibu, California resident, remains in preventive detention. The outlet also referenced Cher’s 2023 conservatorship petition, in which she expressed concern about her son’s well-being.
In that filing, Cher stated:
“Given his ongoing mental health and substance abuse issues,” she was concerned funds would be “immediately spent on drugs.”
That conservatorship effort spoke volumes about a family crisis long before this weekend’s arrests brought it into public view.
Allman was arraigned March 2 at Salem District Court and ordered held on preventive detention. Key questions remain unanswered. No motive has been stated for either incident. The identity of the Windham homeowner has not been disclosed. No information about a next hearing date has surfaced.
What is clear: a man released on bail after allegedly assaulting people at a school dining hall allegedly broke into a stranger’s home within 48 hours.
Celebrity last names don’t change the law, or shouldn’t. When the system releases someone on bail and he allegedly kicks in a door before the weekend ends, the system failed the people it exists to protect.
