Las Vegas law enforcement has indicted three individuals connected to the bombing at Piero’s that occurred on November 13, although two remain at large.
John Navarro, Sarah Lianne Hernandez, and Phillip Daniel Muno Gonzalez were all indicted by a Grand Jury from Clark County on November 20. Each faces serious felony charges, including the manufacturing or possession of an explosive device, first-degree arson, conspiracy to commit first-degree arson, and using explosives to inflict damage.
Navarro, aged 35, was apprehended on November 15 and remains incarcerated. Hernandez, 34, was captured on November 21, posted a $150,000 bail, but subsequently missed a court date scheduled for November 25.
Both Hernandez and Gonzalez, who is 54 and still at large, are currently regarded as fugitives.
Navarro also faces an additional charge for carrying a concealed weapon unlawfully and possessing a controlled substance, reportedly less than 14 grams of methamphetamine.
This Tuesday, Navarro entered a not guilty plea to all six charges against him. His next appearance in court is set for April 7, ahead of a jury trial beginning on April 13.
Initially, authorities were on the lookout for two male suspects; one was seen riding a scooter and placing the improvised explosive device (IED) at the entrance of the well-known Italian restaurant off the Strip. Hernandez has since been identified as involved in the incident.
The IED, which was set at Piero’s entrance at 2:19 a.m. on November 13, detonated shortly after, causing unknown damage. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department didn’t receive reports of the explosion until 10:36 a.m., when the restaurant’s cleaning staff discovered its aftermath.
Who is Not a Suspect
This past April, Evan Glusman, the son of Piero’s founder Freddie Glusman and the former manager of the restaurant, was taken into custody for making threats of violence at Piero’s. However, his attorney asserts that he has never been considered a suspect in the bombing incident.
Following this incident, Piero’s was sold by Glusman to Amazing Brands, a restaurant company led by Las Vegas residents Stephen Siegel and his wife Judi Perez Siegel, who also own Siegel’s Bagelmania and Pinkbox Doughnuts.
The arrest report for Evan Glusman indicated that he had secured a $1.5 million loan against the restaurant while fraudulently claiming ownership, a move that led his father to terminate his employment. This incident reportedly resulted in emotional instability, prompting him to send a threatening text that expressed intent to commit violence at Piero’s.
Evan was charged with making threats and conveying false information regarding acts of terrorism, but he ultimately pleaded no contest to a reduced charge of harassment on May 20. This resulted in a stayed adjudication, meaning no formal conviction will be recorded if he completes four weeks of outpatient treatment and stays out of legal trouble.
During a recent hearing, Judge Diana Sullivan of the Las Vegas Justice Court mandated Glusman to wear an alcohol monitor and prohibited him from having any contact with Piero’s employees, as reported by KLAS-TV/Las Vegas.
