Police say Cher’s son was arrested on Friday (Feb. 27) after acting belligerently at an elite private high school in New Hampshire, of which he has no association.
Elijah Blue Allman, 49, was booked into the Merrimack County Jail and charged with four misdemeanors: two counts of simple assault, criminal trespass and criminal threatening. Allman, whose father was the late Gregg Allman, was also charged with a violation of disorderly conduct, which is illegal in the state but not considered a crime.
At about 7 p.m. that day, Concord police responded to reports that Allman was disturbing people in the dining hall of St. Paul’s School. After charging Allman, police said he was released on bail as his case works through the court system.
Allman has no apparent connection to the school, and it remains unclear why he was there, sources tell TMZ. He primarily resides in Southern California.
Attorney information for Allman was not available in court records.
A representative for Cher was not immediately available. St. Paul’s School declined to comment.
An investigation is ongoing.
In June 2025, Allman was hospitalized following an overdose at his home after authorities responded to reports of erratic behavior. Drugs were later discovered at the residence, according to TMZ. The incident occurred roughly two months after his wife, Marieangela King, filed for divorce following 13 years of marriage.
Cher sought a conservatorship over her son in 2023, alleging he was “substantially unable to manage his own financial resources due to severe mental health and substance abuse issues.” She also claimed King had interfered with his efforts to seek treatment, TMZ reported. The case was dismissed in late 2024.
