Cher's Son Elijah Allman Arrested at New Hampshire Private School
Elijah Allman, the son of iconic singer and actress Cher, was taken into custody by police on Friday evening after displaying aggressive behavior at a private high school in New Hampshire. Authorities confirmed that Allman has no affiliation with St. Paul's School in Concord, where the incident occurred.
Multiple Criminal Charges Filed
Following his arrest, Elijah Allman was formally charged with four misdemeanor offenses. The charges include two counts of simple assault, one count of criminal trespass, and one count of criminal threatening. Additionally, police cited him for disorderly conduct, which is considered a violation under New Hampshire law rather than a criminal offense.
Police Respond to Dining Hall Disturbance
Concord police officers arrived at St. Paul's School around 7 p.m. on Friday in response to multiple reports about a disruptive individual in the dining hall area. According to official statements, Allman was acting belligerently and disturbing people within the school premises. After processing the charges, authorities released Allman on bail as his case proceeds through the judicial system.
Legal representation for Elijah Allman remains unclear, as court records do not currently list attorney information. Police have indicated that their investigation into the incident continues.
Recent History of Personal Struggles
This arrest follows a series of personal challenges for Elijah Allman, whose father was the late musician Gregg Allman of The Allman Brothers Band. In June 2025, Allman made headlines when he was hospitalized following a drug overdose. Law enforcement sources reported that authorities were called to his residence due to erratic behavior, and drugs were subsequently discovered at the property.
The overdose incident occurred approximately two months after his wife, Marieangela King, filed for divorce, ending their 13-year marriage. This personal turmoil has been part of a longer pattern of difficulties for Allman.
Cher's Attempted Conservatorship
In December 2023, Cher filed legal documents seeking a conservatorship over her son's affairs. In her petition, the entertainment legend stated that Elijah was "substantially unable to manage his own financial resources due to severe mental health and substance abuse issues." She further alleged that Marieangela King had been preventing Elijah from accessing necessary mental health and substance abuse treatment.
Cher ultimately withdrew her conservatorship petition at the end of 2024, though the reasons for this decision were not publicly disclosed. The recent arrest suggests ongoing challenges for Elijah Allman despite his mother's previous intervention attempts.
The case continues to develop as legal proceedings move forward and investigators gather additional information about the school incident and Allman's recent activities.
