Son of restaurant founder accused of threatening calls to location damaged by explosive device: court records

Evan Glusman, son of Piero’s Italian Cuisine founder Freddie Glusman, is accused of making threatening calls to the restaurant, according to court records filed on Thursday.

Court records said Glusman called Piero’s and made threatening phone calls. He is scheduled for a revocation hearing, which determines whether a person has violated the conditions of their release, and could lead to parole being revoked.

Overnight Thursday, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officials said an “improvised explosive device” exploded at Piero’s. The device was delivered by two men dressed in black, one riding a scooter, then ignited, police said. After burning for a few minutes, it detonated, causing damage to the unoccupied restaurant.

An arrest was made on Friday in the incident. John Navarro was taken into custody and faces eight charges, including possession, manufacture and disposal of an explosive device, first-degree arson, using an explosive device to damage or destroy property, and conspiracy to commit first-degree arson.
