Blue Wave Hits New Hampshire GOP Stronghold in Key Special Election

Cher’s Son Elijah Blue Allman Re-Arrested After Alleged NH Break-In

Elijah Blue Allman, Cher’s 49-year-old son, was arrested in Windsor, NH after police say he unlawfully entered a home and was found smoking inside; authorities allege he did not have permission to be there, though a representative claimed otherwise. The charges include burglary, two counts of criminal mischief, and breach of bail. This followed a separate arrest days earlier at St. Paul’s School in Concord for simple assault, trespassing, threatening and disorderly conduct; he was released on personal recognizance bail, which he reportedly breached. The incidents continue his long history of substance abuse issues and come amid Cher’s past conservatorship bid.

Democrat Cinde Warmington launched a repeat bid for New Hampshire governor, delivering the first major challenge to GOP Gov. Kelly Ayotte in a purple, battleground state.
