Las Vegas – Evan Glusman, the son of Fredrick Glusman, owner of Piero’s Italian Cuisine, was arrested on April 26 under serious accusations of threatening a shooting at the restaurant through text messages. The Metropolitan Police Department responded to reports regarding these threats, which included Glusman allegedly declaring he was “going home to get a gun and f—ing kill them in the middle of” Piero’s.
As a result of the allegations, Glusman was booked on suspicion of making a threat related to acts of terrorism and harassment. Despite the severity of the accusations, no criminal charges had been filed against him at the time of the report, but authorities indicated that additional charges could be forthcoming. After posting a $20,000 bail, Glusman was released, although he was ordered to comply with several conditions, including participation in electronic monitoring and a prohibition on firearm possession.
The circumstances surrounding his arrest stemmed from a family dispute over alleged financial misconduct. Fredrick Glusman asserted that his son had defrauded the family business by taking out an unauthorized loan of $1.5 million against Piero’s. Following an investigation by a family friend, Fredrick suspended Evan from his position at the restaurant, leading to a volatile reaction from Evan, who became “extremely irate” upon receiving the news.
Before the arrest, the tensions between father and son escalated. On April 18, Evan had expressed in a text to his father his frustration regarding the restaurant’s management, stating he intended to sell it, maintaining his innocence, and suggesting he would take the matter “to my grave.” In a threatening text directed at the restaurant manager, he referred to the individual as a “snake,” further highlighting the personal conflicts unfolding within the family business.
Following the arrest of Evan Glusman, Batch Hospitality Group, where he served as a co-founder, announced the immediate closure of two of its restaurants, Bramaré and Table 34. Table 34, which opened in 2004, was recognized for its American comfort food. In contrast, Bramáre launched just in 2024, specializing in late-night Italian cuisine. Evan had been overseeing day-to-day operations at Piero’s as its general manager, a position he had held for over a decade, having been associated with the family-run restaurant since childhood.
Piero’s, which has been a fixture of the Las Vegas dining scene since its inception in 1982, is known for its classic Italian offerings and has been a venue for numerous celebrities. The restaurant’s current plight reflects the serious implications of the family dispute, with police records indicating Fredrick Glusman only recently learned of the supposed financial irregularities. Following Evan’s release, he was ordered to maintain a distance from Piero’s as a precautionary measure amid the ongoing investigation.
As this incident continues to develop, the Glusman family’s legal and business entanglements raise questions about the future of Piero’s and the potential ramifications for both father and son. The situation remains delicate, with the community watching closely to see how this family-owned establishment will navigate these tribulations.
