The son of the owner of Piero’s Italian Cuisine and co-founder of the hospitality group behind two Las Vegas restaurants was arrested on Saturday, April 26, after allegedly threatening a shooting attack at Piero’s, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Evan Glusman, co-founder of Batch Hospitality Group, was reportedly arrested and booked on suspicion of making a threat or conveying false information about acts of terrorism and harassment. Batch Hospitality’s two popular Las Vegas restaurants, Bramáre and Table 34, have since closed.
According to the Review-Journal, the Metropolitan Police Department responded to Piero’s after receiving reports that Glusman texted threatening gun violence to the restaurant manager. Piero’s owner and Glusman’s father, Fredrick Glusman, claimed to officers that his son had defrauded his business, according to the Review-Journal. Fredrick Glusman reportedly responded by suspending his son’s employment at Piero’s. When notified, Evan Glusman became “extremely irate,” police reportedly said in the report.
The following week, Glusman sent the threatening text to Piero’s manager, according to the Review-Journal. Hours later, he was reportedly arrested. An arrest report also said that the 46-year-old is accused of taking out an unauthorized $1.5 million loan against Piero’s, the Review-Journal reported. (No criminal charges have been filed against Glusman, though the Review-Journal reports that additional charges may be forthcoming.)…
