The 49-year-old son of entertainment icon Cher is set to appear in court Wednesday to address charges stemming from an alleged home invasion in New Hampshire this month.
Elijah Allman, a Malibu, California resident, was taken into custody for the second time in just days after his February 27 arrest for reportedly causing a disturbance at the elite St. Paul’s School in New Hampshire. Authorities have not established any link between Allman and either the prestigious preparatory academy or the Windham, New Hampshire residence he allegedly targeted.
According to Superintendent Jonathan Banville, Allman is currently being held at the Rockingham County Department of Corrections under preventive detention measures.
The son of the late musician Gregg Allman is facing multiple charges related to the March 1 home invasion, including two criminal mischief counts, one burglary charge, and a bail violation count. Law enforcement officials stated in their report that Allman lacked authorization to enter the property and used force to gain access.
During the earlier prep school incident, Allman received charges on four misdemeanor counts: dual simple assault charges, criminal trespass, and criminal threatening. He also received a disorderly conduct violation, which New Hampshire law treats as illegal but not criminal.
Around 7 p.m. on the day of the school incident, Concord police officers responded to complaints about Allman disrupting activities in St. Paul’s School dining facility. Following his charges, authorities released Allman on bail while his case proceeds through the judicial system.
Attempts to reach Allman for comment were unsuccessful, as he did not reply to email inquiries and his phone number was non-functional. Court documentation does not clearly indicate whether Allman has secured legal representation.
Last December, Cher petitioned a court to establish temporary conservatorship over her son’s financial affairs, citing concerns that his mental health struggles and addiction issues have compromised his ability to handle his wealth responsibly and may endanger his wellbeing.
The entertainment star’s legal filing indicated that Elijah Allman receives scheduled distributions from a trust fund. However, the petition stated that “given his ongoing mental health and substance abuse issues,” she worried that “any funds distributed to Elijah will be immediately spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to provide for himself and putting Elijah’s life at risk.”
Several weeks following the filing, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Jessica Uzcategui rejected the conservatorship request, stating she remained unconvinced that such urgent intervention was necessary. Allman attended the hearing alongside his legal team, who recognized his past difficulties but contended he was currently stable, participating in support meetings, receiving treatment, and rebuilding his relationship with his previously separated spouse.
