Cher's son arrested at elite St Paul's School in New Hampshire on multiple criminal charges including assault

Cher's son was arrested on Friday after police say he was acting belligerently at a New Hampshire private high school.

The singer's son, Elijah Allman, 49, was arrested and charged with four misdemeanors: two counts of simple assault, criminal trespass and criminal threatening.

Allman was also charged with violation of disorderly conduct, which is not considered a crime in the state despite being illegal, according to The Associated Press. The outlet reported that Concord police officers responded to a call at the elite prep school around 7 p.m. after receiving reports that Allman was causing a disturbance in the school's dining hall. 

Allman was later released on bail. His connection to the prep school is unknown.

News broke in June 2025 that Allman was taken to a hospital in San Bernardino County for demonstrating erratic behavior after authorities received a disturbance call. 

"Deputies from our Morongo Basin Station responded to a residence in Landers for a male subject acting erratically," authorities from the Bernardino County Sheriff's Office said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital. "When deputies arrived, Elijah Allman, 48, was being evaluated by emergency medical personnel. Deputies located drugs inside the home, and Allman was transported to the hospital. The investigation is ongoing."

Cher was previously appointed the temporary conservator of Allman in December 2023, as documents claimed that her son is "substantially unable to manage his financial resources due to severe mental health and substance abuse issues."

In her bid for conservatorship, she argued that while he is entitled to the money provided to him in the trust set up by his father, the late musician Gregg Allman, due to "his ongoing mental health and substance abuse issues," any money he gets "will immediately be spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to provide for himself, and putting Elijah’s life at risk."

Allman responded to his mother's petition a month later in January 2024, noting he didn't feel comfortable with his mom handling his finances.

"I do not need her unsolicited help or support at this time," he stated in the documents. 

Allman stated in documents that he had since refrained from the use of illicit substances that "have historically caused the incidents that have given rise to my mother's concern." 

She later lost her temporary conservatorship over him in January 2024.

Cher and Gregg Allman got married in June 1975 and welcomed Elijah a year later in July 1976. Throughout their partnership, the couple recorded an album called "Two the Hard Way," released in November 1977, but Gregg's ongoing substance issues and other factors led to the end of their marriage in 1979.

"When I said drugs were really the problem, I do believe that," Alan Paul wrote in his book, "Brothers and Sisters: The Allman Brothers Band and the Inside Story of the Album That Defined the ‘70s."

"But I also think this level of celebrity access and inability to have a private life was also part of that," Paul wrote of the famous couple. "That compounded the other. It was really hard to work out one problem under this glare that they couldn’t get out of. They were on one of the first covers of People Magazine. That side of celebrity culture was just beginning. They were the Kim and Kanye of 1974-1975."

US women's hockey players crack jokes about men's team on Saturday Night Live after Trump controversy

Players from the men's and women's Olympic gold-medal winning hockey teams appeared together on "Saturday Night Live" amid recent political controversy. 

The men's and women's players had been publicly pitted against each other after President Donald Trump called the men's team following their gold medal win against Canada to invite them to the State of The Union, and joked that he would have to invite the women too or he'd be impeached. The joke prompted backlash against the men's team after the players laughed in response, primarily from American and Canadian liberals. 

Women's players Hilary Knight and Megan Keller were joined by men's players Jack and Quinn Hughes on SNL, and made light of the recent controversy.

Knight appeared to reference Trump's joke.

"It was going to be just us, but we thought we’d invite the guys, too," Knight said. 

Knight delivered another punchline after Quinn Hughes said the last time the men won gold was 46 years ago at the 1980 Lake Placid Games.

Knight followed by saying the women's team last won gold two Olympics ago, at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Games.

 Jack Hughes responded, saying, "Nice burn. These gold medals aren’t just for us, they’re for all hockey fans."

"Heated Rivalry" actor Connor Storrie hosted the episode. 

Several mainstream media outlets penned op-eds condemning the men's team for laughing at the joke and then visiting the White House to celebrate and attend Trump's State of the Union address. 

During an interview on ESPN's "The Pat McAfee Show" Friday, Hughes opened up about his respect for the women's team after McAfee appeared to reference the controversy by joking that Hughes and his teammates "hate" the women players.

"We are hanging out with them so much, the women's team. We were supporting them. Like, we were at their games, they were at our games," Hughes said. 

Hughes then appeared to address the recent criticism of his team for its response to Trump's joke.

"Like all these people talking, how many of them watched their gold medal game? Me and Quinn Hughes were at the game. We were at the game until, like, overtime ended on the glass, and we were jumping up and down so excited for these girls, so excited they won," Hughes said.

"And how many of these people watched the gold medal game, watched their semifinals game? Like 10 of the 10 of our players went to their game in the round-robin. Like, we supported them so much, and we're so proud of them. We're so happy that they won, and they brought a gold medal back and that, you know, I said it, the men's and women's team both brought gold medals back. So, just unbelievable for USA hockey."

Jack Hughes, who scored the game-winning overtime goal against Canada to win gold, reflected on his interaction with the player on the U.S. women's team who did the same in Keller.

"Me and her had a great moment in the cafeteria after her gold medal game. We played Slovakia the next night, and it was like a late game. And we were in the pasta line — me and Megan. They were just getting ready to go out again, and I just gave her a massive hug, and I said, 'I'm so happy for you. I'm so proud of you,'" Hughes said.

"A couple nights later, saw her again in the [cafeteria], and we took a great picture and, uh, she just gave me a big hug and was so pumped for me as well." 

U.S. women's hockey captain Hilary Knight said on Wednesday's edition of ESPN's "SportsCenter" that Trump's "distasteful joke" has "overshadow[ed]" the women's success.

"I thought it was sort of a distasteful joke, and, unfortunately, that is overshadowing a lot of the success, the success of just women at the Olympics carrying for Team USA and having amazing gold medal feats," Knight said.

"We're just focusing on celebrating the women in our room, the extraordinary efforts, and continue to celebrate three gold medals in program history as well as the double gold for both men's and women's at the same time. And really not detract from that with a distasteful joke."

Hughes’ mother Ellen, a former Team USA player and current player development staff member, said the players only cared about "bring[ing] so much unity to a group and to a country."
