Elijah Allman, the 49-year-old son of iconic singer Cher and the late musician Gregg Allman, has been arrested for the second time in just three days, according to police reports from Windham, New Hampshire. This latest incident follows an initial arrest earlier in the week for allegedly causing a disturbance at a private school.
Details of the New Arrest
On Sunday, local authorities in Windham, New Hampshire, took Elijah Allman into custody after he allegedly broke into a residential property. Police stated that Allman was charged with burglary, two counts of criminal mischief, and breach of bail, as reported by the Union Leader. The arrest marks a significant escalation in his legal troubles, coming shortly after his previous detention.
Previous Incident and Legal Proceedings
Just days before this arrest, Allman was initially taken into custody for allegedly causing a disturbance at a private school with which he had no affiliation. Following the Sunday incident, he was arraigned on Monday and is currently being held on "preventative detention," according to police statements. This measure indicates concerns over potential further offenses while awaiting trial.
The Independent has reached out to representatives for Cher for comment, but no response has been provided at this time. Elijah Allman is Cher's only child with Gregg Allman, and the pair were previously pictured together at public events, such as the 2001 premiere of the film 'Blow'.
Broader Context and Implications
This series of arrests highlights ongoing challenges for the Allman family, with Elijah facing serious legal consequences. The charges of burglary and criminal mischief could result in significant penalties if convicted, adding to the breach of bail allegation from his prior arrest. As the situation develops, further updates are expected from law enforcement and legal representatives involved in the case.
