Cher’s son, Elijah Allman, has been arrested for the second time in three days.
Days after his initial arrest for allegedly causing a disturbance at a private school with which he had no affiliation, Allman, 49, was arrested Sunday in Windham, New Hampshire, after he allegedly broke into a home.
Local police said in a statement provided to The Independent that Allman was charged with burglary, two counts of criminal mischief, and breach of bail.
Allman — the only son of Cher and the late Allman Brothers band co-founder Gregg Allman — was arraigned Monday and held on “preventative detention,” police said.
The Independent has reached out to Cher’s representatives for comment.
Allman was first arrested Friday after allegedly “causing a disturbance and acting belligerently” at St. Paul’s School in Concord, police said in a statement per the Union Leader.
After that incident, he was charged with two counts of simple assault, and one count each of criminal trespassing, criminal threatening, and disorderly conduct, police said.
He was released and is scheduled to be arraigned April 20.
Allman is Cher’s second son, whom she shared with her ex-husband, singer-songwriter Gregg, who died in 2017. The “Believe” singer is also mother to 56-year-old Chaz Bono, whom she shared with her late ex-husband, and former Sonny & Cher singing partner, Sonny Bono.
He made headlines last year when he was rushed to the hospital after authorities found him “acting erratically.”
In a statement at the time to People, Allman’s estranged wife, singer Marieangela King, shared her support.
“While it is true that Elijah has faced personal challenges in the past, one constant has been his unwavering commitment to sobriety and his loyalty to those he loves,” she said.
“Like many, he continues to confront his inner struggles — but it is important to recognize that he does so from a place of strength, not defeat,” King continued. “Despite the assumptions that often color how his journey is portrayed, the reality is that Elijah remains grounded, focused and deeply committed to living with integrity and purpose.”
She concluded: “I want to state, without hesitation, that I will always root for him. My support is steadfast and comes from a place of deep respect for the person he is and the resilience he continues to show.”
King, the frontwoman of British pop band KING, married Allman in 2013. He filed for divorce from the 37-year-old in November 2021.
Allman has struggled with drug addiction and his mental health in the past. In December 2023, Cher filed for conservatorship of her son, over concerns that he was “substantially unable to manage his financial resources” due to “severe mental health and substance abuse issues.”
However, the singer dropped her bid for conservatorship of Allman in September 2024, after they reportedly reached a private settlement.
