Elijah Blue Allman, the son of Cher and the late Gregg Allman, was arrested twice in New Hampshire within days, drawing renewed public attention. On February 27, 2026, police responded to reports of an alleged disturbance at St. Paul’s School in Concord, where Allman was accused of being an unwanted guest inside a dining hall. He was taken into custody and charged with simple assault, criminal trespass, criminal threatening, and disorderly conduct before being released on personal recognizance pending arraignment. Just two days later, on March 1, authorities in Windham arrested him again, this time on a felony burglary charge after he allegedly entered a private residence. According to reports, a homeowner contacted police, and Allman was found inside the property. Officials also cited property damage.
These incidents follow several highly publicized family and legal matters in recent years. In 2023, Cher sought a conservatorship over her son, citing concerns about substance abuse and financial management. A judge denied her temporary requests, and the case was later resolved privately in 2024. Allman had previously stated he was sober and receiving treatment, and a court acknowledged he was managing his affairs at that time. However, his recent arrests come after a 2025 hospitalization linked to an overdose scare and a divorce filing from his wife, Marieangela King. As the legal process unfolds, questions remain about whether these events represent isolated setbacks or deeper ongoing challenges.
