New Hampshire
Hikers from Somerville, Bellingham rescued in separate incidents in New Hampshire’s White Mountains – The Boston Globe
A fall weekend in New Hampshire led to rescues of injured hikers and crashes involving ATV drivers from Massachusetts and Rhode Island, officials said.
Conservation officers responded Sunday to Edmands Path in the White Mountain National Forest for an injured hiker who was about two miles from the trailhead, the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department said.
Kyleigh Burns, 25, of Somerville, was heading up the trail when she slipped, fell, and injured her lower leg, officials said. Her fellow hikers tried to treat her leg but Burns couldn’t put any weight on it.
She called 911 around 12:15 p.m. and while waiting for rescuers to arrive, she was able “to descend by assistance from her hiking companions and by scooting herself down the trail approximately 1,000 feet,” officials said.
Burns was placed in a rescue litter and carried to the parking lot, arriving around 4:30 p.m. She declined an ambulance ride and was taken by her friends to an medical facility, officials said.
Conservation officers and 22 volunteers from Androscoggin Valley Search and Rescue (AVSAR) and Pemigewassett Valley Search and Rescue took part in the rescue.
On Friday night, a Bellingham woman needed help while hiking Mount Chocorua, officials said. Calie Bridges, 25, injured her ankle but tried to continue her hike with her three companions, officials said.
“She did continue hiking with the injury but her progress was slowed. The group called for help when they realized that their phones were running low and that their lights were failing,” the agency said. “Calie was nearly 2.5 miles from the trailhead when darkness forced her to stop walking.”
Two conservation officers arrived to splint Bridges ankle and provid the hikers with lights.
“Calie was then able to hike slowly out to the trailhead,” officials said. “She arrived back at the trailhead shortly after 3:30 a.m. and was driven from the scene by her friends.”
Conservation officers also responded to ATV crashes over the weekend. On Sunday around 5 p.m., officers were alerted that Nicholas Arsenis of North Reading had crashed the ATV he was driving on private land in Raymond.
Arsenis “lost control of his ATV and rolled the machine” and was taken to Elliot Hospital in Manchester. His injuries were not life-threatening, officials said.
“Based on the preliminary investigation the primary causation of the crash was operator error,” officials said. Arsenis was not wearing a helmet and was cited for driving an off-road vehicle without written permission from the landowner.
On Saturday around 5:30 p.m., conservation officers responded to an ATV crash on the Presidential Rail Trail in Gorham where emergency personnel were providing first aid to John Allen, 39, of North Kingston, R.I.
“Allen was traveling first in a group of three machines on his way back to the parking lot in Gorham,” officials said. “While riding down the trail, he failed to see the reflective gate across the Presidential Rail Trail designed to keep motor vehicles off the trail.”
To avoid hitting the fence, “Allen locked up his brakes and steered his machine to the side just before running into the gate. His machine did not collide with the gate, however, Allen was thrown over the gate, striking his lower body against it.”
His companions made an emergency call. Allen was taken to the Androscoggin Valley Hospital in Berlin, the agency said.
“Investigators believe that inattention and speed for the combined conditions are the primary factors in this crash. Alcohol and drug intoxication are not considered factors,” officials said.

Crime
Elijah Allman’s arrest on March 1 was his second in New Hampshire in a matter of days.
A court hearing for Cher’s son Wednesday over allegations he broke into a New Hampshire home this month has been canceled.
Elijah Allman’s arrest on March 1 was his second in New Hampshire in a matter of days. Allman, the 49-year-old son of the iconic singer and actress, was also detained Feb. 27, accused of acting belligerently at a prestigious prep school in Concord.
It is unclear if Allman, of Malibu, California, has any connection to the home in Windham, New Hampshire. He is being held in the Rockingham County Department of Corrections, Superintendent Jonathan Banville said.
The hearing Wednesday was continued until an undetermined date after Allman got an attorney Wednesday morning. The attorney, Sarah Landres, did not respond to a request for comment.
Allman, whose father was the late singer Gregg Allman, is charged with two counts of criminal mischief, one count of burglary and a count of breach of bail for breaking into the home on March 1. Police said in a report that Allman did not have permission to be at the home and forcibly entered it.
Officials at St. Paul’s School said Allman last month identified himself as the parent of a prospective student and slipped into the dining hall as some students were leaving the building. Police responded to reports that he was disturbing people in the building.
He was charged with four misdemeanors in the school incident: two counts of simple assault, criminal trespass and criminal threatening. Allman was also charged with a violation of disorderly conduct, which is illegal in the state but not considered a crime. He was released on bail.
Allman did not respond to an email requesting comment, and a phone number for him was not working.
In December 2023, Cher filed a petition to become a temporary conservator overseeing her son’s money, saying Allman’s struggles with his mental health and addiction have left him unable to manage his assets and potentially put his life in danger.
The petition says the superstar performer’s son is entitled to regular payments from a trust fund. But “given his ongoing mental health and substance abuse issues,” she is “concerned that any funds distributed to Elijah will be immediately spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to provide for himself and putting Elijah’s life at risk,” the petition says.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Jessica Uzcategui denied the request, saying she was not convinced that a conservatorship was urgently needed. Allman was in the courtroom with his attorneys, who acknowledged his previous struggles but argued that he was in a good place, was attending meetings, getting treatment and reconciling with his estranged wife.
The son of Cher is scheduled to be in court Wednesday for a hearing over allegations he broke into a New Hampshire home earlier this month.
It was the second arrest in a matter of days for Elijah Allman, 49, of Malibu, California, who was detained Feb. 27 after allegedly acting belligerently at a prestigious prep school in New Hampshire. It was unclear if Allman had any connection to either St. Paul’s School or the home in Windham, New Hampshire.
Allman remains in the Rockingham County Department of Corrections in what is called preventive detention, Superintendent Jonathan Banville said.
Allman, whose father was the late singer Gregg Allman, faces two counts of criminal mischief, one count of burglary and a count of breach of bail for breaking into the home on March 1. Police said in a report that Allman did not have permission to be at the home and forcibly entered it .
In the incident at the prep school, Allman was charged with four misdemeanors: two counts of simple assault, criminal trespass and criminal threatening. Allman was also charged with a violation of disorderly conduct, which is illegal in the state but not considered a crime.
At about 7 p.m. that day, Concord police responded to reports that Allman was disturbing people in the dining hall of St. Paul’s School. After charging Allman, police said he was released on bail as his case works through the court system.
Allman did not respond to an email requesting comment, and a phone number for him was not working. It was unclear from the court records if Allman has an attorney.

A few weeks later, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Jessica Uzcategui denied the request, saying she was not convinced that a conservatorship was urgently needed. Allman was in the courtroom with his his attorneys, who acknowledged his previous struggles but argued that he is in a good place now, attending meetings, getting treatment and reconciling with his previously estranged wife.
