Cher’s son, Elijah Blue Allman, has reportedly been indicted on a felony criminal mischief charge months after allegedly forcing his way into a New Hampshire woman’s home and smoking a cigarette on her couch. The indictment represents the latest development in a pair of criminal cases involving the 50-year-old musician, who was arrested twice within three days earlier this year.

Allman pleaded not guilty to charges related to the alleged home invasion. The proceedings have since been delayed while he receives treatment at New Hampshire State Hospital.

Elijah Blue Allman Indicted On Felony Charge

A New Hampshire grand jury indicted Allman on a felony criminal mischief charge connected to the alleged March 1 incident in Windham, according to court records obtained by the Daily Mail. His arraignment on the newly indicted charge is scheduled for October 2.

An indictment indicates that a grand jury found sufficient probable cause for the charge to proceed. It is not a finding of guilt.

Allman previously pleaded not guilty to criminal mischief, burglary, and breach of bail charges stemming from the same incident. The criminal proceedings have been delayed while Allman undergoes treatment at New Hampshire State Hospital. He is also scheduled to face a competency hearing in November in connection with a separate case involving St. Paul’s School in Concord.

Competency proceedings determine whether a defendant can understand the criminal case and assist attorneys with a defense. They do not decide whether the defendant committed the alleged offenses.

Police Say He Broke Into An Occupied Home

Windham police responded to a residence on March 1 after a woman reported that an unknown man had entered her home while she was still inside. The homeowner reportedly hid inside a closet and called 911. Authorities allege that Allman forced his way through a back door before sitting on the woman’s couch and smoking a cigarette. Police said he did not have permission to enter the residence.

According to PEOPLE, investigators alleged that Allman used loppers to force his way inside. Damage to the home, including the broken door and a burned rug, reportedly totaled more than $2,700. Police did not accuse Allman of stealing anything from the residence.

Allman was arrested and initially ordered held in preventive detention. The incident allegedly violated conditions imposed after his earlier release, resulting in an additional breach-of-bail charge.

• Cher expressed fears that her son Elijah’s condition had “significantly deteriorated” in a renewed plea for a conservatorship.
• Cher was denied her request to establish a conservatorship over her troubled son.
• Cher’s son claimed that she abruptly cut him off financially amid their conservatorship dispute.
• Cher reportedly put parts of her life on hold to remain “fully hands-on” with Elijah amid his ongoing struggles.

The Arrest Came Days After An Alleged School Disturbance

Allman’s Windham arrest occurred two days after police were called to St. Paul’s School, a private boarding school in Concord. Police said Allman had no known connection to the school and was reported as an unwanted visitor. The musician allegedly presented himself as the parent of a prospective student to gain access to the campus. Authorities said he later became belligerent inside the school’s dining hall.

According to the Associated Press, Allman was charged with two misdemeanor counts of simple assault, as well as criminal trespass and criminal threatening. He was also accused of disorderly conduct, which is classified as a violation rather than a crime under New Hampshire law.

Police alleged that Allman poked a student with his cane during the disturbance. Students also claimed he approached female students and attempted to start conversations before school security intervened.

Student Described The Scene After Police Arrived

A student who witnessed the aftermath said multiple police vehicles arrived outside the dining hall. “I was walking through campus, and I saw the cop cars outside the dining hall,” the student told the Daily Mail. “At that point the guy [Allman] was sitting against a car, talking to police. It looked like he was handcuffed, and everything looked pretty calm.”

The student said friends who were inside the dining hall described Allman as behaving strangely before officers arrived. “What I do know, from a few of my girl friends, is that right before he was in the dining hall bothering people,” the student said. “He was right in front of a girls’ dorm, trying to get in. They slammed the door in his face.”

The witness also claimed Allman appeared to be looking for companionship but focused his attention on female students. “He was so weird. He wanted friends, I guess, but the only kids he was trying to talk to were girls,” the student recalled. “He kept hitting on all the girls. It was kind of scary for everyone.”

Allman Has A History Of Substance Abuse

Allman is the only child Cher shares with her late second husband, musician Gregg Allman. He has publicly discussed struggling with substance abuse from a young age and undergoing multiple periods of rehabilitation.

In June 2025, Allman was hospitalized after reportedly being found unconscious in Joshua Tree, California. The health emergency was described as a suspected drug overdose. His health and substance abuse history have also been at the center of his mother’s efforts to establish a conservatorship over his estate.

Cher initially filed a conservatorship petition in December 2023, arguing that her son could not safely manage payments from a trust established by his late father. A judge denied her request for a temporary conservatorship in January 2024. Cher later dismissed that petition in September 2024 following private mediation. She filed another petition after Allman’s 2026 arrests, citing renewed concerns about his mental health, substance abuse, and finances.

In April, a judge again declined to establish an emergency temporary conservatorship, finding insufficient urgency while Allman remained hospitalized and could not access an upcoming trust payment.
