Elijah Allman, the 49-year-old son of entertainer Cher, was arrested Friday evening at St. Paul's School in New Hampshire on multiple charges including assault and trespassing. Police responded to reports of disruptive behavior in the school's dining hall, though Allman has no connection to the institution.
CONCORD, N.H. — The son of famous singer Cher found himself in legal trouble Friday evening after authorities say he caused a disturbance at an elite New Hampshire boarding school where he had no business being.
Elijah Allman, age 49, faces multiple criminal charges following his arrest at St. Paul’s School in Concord. Law enforcement officials have charged him with four separate misdemeanor offenses: a pair of simple assault counts, along with criminal trespass and criminal threatening charges. Additionally, Allman received a citation for disorderly conduct, which violates state law but doesn’t rise to the level of a criminal offense.
Concord law enforcement officers were called to the prestigious prep school around 7 p.m. Friday after receiving reports of someone causing problems in the campus dining facility. Allman, whose late father was musician Gregg Allman of the Allman Brothers Band, had no ties to the educational institution.
Following his arrest and processing on the various charges, Allman was freed on bail while his legal case moves forward through New Hampshire’s court system.
Court documents do not currently list legal representation for Allman. Attempts to reach Cher’s representatives for comment were unsuccessful, while officials at St. Paul’s School have chosen not to discuss the incident publicly.
The matter remains under investigation by local authorities.
