WINDHAM, New Hampshire -- The son of superstar singer Cher and Greg Allman is in jail in New Hampshire after he was arrested for a second time last weekend.

Elijah Blue Allman was arrested March 1 in Windham and is accused of breaking into a house on Ministerial Road through the back door.

According to an affidavit, a woman inside the home called 911 while hiding in a closet.

When police arrived, they found that a glass pane in the back door had been shattered, and Allman was sitting on the couch smoking a cigarette. Police said he told officers the homeowner said he was allowed to be there.

This was the second time in 48 hours that Allman had been arrested in New Hampshire. On Feb. 27, he was arrested at St. Paul’s School in Concord when officers found him in the dining hall.

In a statement to News 9, St. Paul’s School said safety for their students and staff is their top priority.

“The safety and well-being of our students, faculty and staff are our top priorities. While we welcome visitors to our campus throughout the year for sporting events and other gatherings, there are clear policies in place regarding visitor access, and those policies are enforced by Campus Safety. With rare exceptions for special events, all campus buildings are locked at all times, with access limited by ID card to students, faculty, and staff only. We train our students and employees not to allow visitors into any secure areas of the School. However, since the School’s founding in 1856, our campus has been a well-known feature of Concord, New Hampshire, and many community members make daily use of our trails and paths. Balancing safety with welcoming the community is a challenge for all schools, colleges, and universities right now. We are grateful to the Concord Police Department as well as to the rest of the Concord Public Safety team for helping us ensure the safety of our community, and we refer all further inquiries to Concord Police,” the school said.

Allman is facing a number of charges in connection with the two arrests, including simple assault, burglary and criminal mischief. He is also charged with violating his bail from the first arrest when he was arrested a second time.

There don’t appear to be any obvious connections between Allman and New Hampshire. Court paperwork shows Allman’s address as a home in Malibu, California, worth upward of US$16 million.
