Elijah Blue Allman, the son of singer Cher and her late ex-husband Gregg Allman, has been arrested for the second time in just a few days.

Details of the incident
The break-in reportedly forced an unnamed woman to hide in a closet, reported TMZ. When the police arrived at the scene, they found Allman smoking a cigarette on a living room couch. Although nothing was stolen from the property, he allegedly caused around $1,700 worth of damage to one door and another $1,000 to a rug after dropping his cigarette on it.
Previous incident
Arrested days earlier for alleged assault at prep school
Allman's second arrest comes just days after he was arrested for alleged assault and trespassing at St. Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire, last week. Officers from the Concord Police Department were called to the prep school after reports of a suspect "causing a disturbance and acting belligerently" around 7:00pm. He was then taken to Merrimack County Jail, where he was charged with two counts of simple assault, among other charges.
Ongoing issues
Allman's battle with addiction
Allman has long battled addiction, prompting Cher to take extreme measures in the past. In September 2023, insiders revealed that Cher had "kidnapped" Allman with help from other men to get him into rehab after a drug relapse. That same year, she sought to put him under conservatorship, citing concerns over his ability to care for himself and manage his finances. She withdrew her petition after nine months.
