Court hearing for Cher's son on charges he broke into a New Hampshire
home canceled

A court hearing for Cher's son Wednesday over allegations he broke into
a New Hampshire home this month has been canceled.
Elijah Allman’s arrest on March 1 was his second in New Hampshire in a
matter of days. Allman, the 49-year-old son of the iconic singer and
actress, was also detained Feb. 27, accused of acting belligerently at a
prestigious prep school in Concord.
It is unclear if Allman, of Malibu, California, has any connection to
the home in Windham, New Hampshire. He is being held in the Rockingham
County Department of Corrections, Superintendent Jonathan Banville said.
The hearing Wednesday was continued until an undetermined date after
Allman got an attorney Wednesday morning. The attorney, Sarah Landres,
did not respond to a request for comment.
Allman, whose father was the late singer Gregg Allman, is charged with
two counts of criminal mischief, one count of burglary and a count of
breach of bail for breaking into the home on March 1. Police said in a
report that Allman did not have permission to be at the home and
forcibly entered it.
Officials at St. Paul's School said Allman last month identified himself
as the parent of a prospective student and slipped into the dining hall
as some students were leaving the building. Police responded to reports
that he was disturbing people in the building.
He was charged with four misdemeanors in the school incident: two counts
of simple assault, criminal trespass and criminal threatening. Allman
was also charged with a violation of disorderly conduct, which is
illegal in the state but not considered a crime. He was released on
bail.

 Allman did not respond to an email
requesting comment, and a phone number for him was not working.
In December 2023, Cher filed a petition to become a temporary
conservator overseeing her son’s money, saying Allman's struggles
with his mental health and addiction have left him unable to manage
his assets and potentially put his life in danger.
The petition says the superstar performer's son is entitled to
regular payments from a trust fund. But “given his ongoing mental
health and substance abuse issues,” she is “concerned 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,” the petition says.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Jessica Uzcategui denied the
request, saying she was not convinced that a conservatorship was
urgently needed. Allman was in the courtroom with his attorneys, who
acknowledged his previous struggles but argued that he was in a good
place, was attending meetings, getting treatment and reconciling
with his estranged wife.
