Celebrity Jeweler Leon ‘Leo’ Glore Charged After Alleged Gun Threat in Miami Parking Dispute

His lawyer plans a Stand Your Ground dismissal based on building security video.

Overview

  • Police say Glore pulled a handgun and told a driver "Give me a reason" during a parking-gate standoff at the Paramount Miami Worldcenter on March 11.
  • Officers reviewed the building’s security footage at the scene and released him, according to local reports cited in the coverage.
  • Weeks later, Miami police arrested him on aggravated assault and improper exhibition charges, and he was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight jail before posting a $5,500 bond.
  • His attorney filed a written not-guilty plea and plans to seek dismissal under Florida’s Stand Your Ground law, which allows the use of deadly force if someone believes it is necessary for self-defense.
  • The case is assigned to Miami-Dade Judge Richard Hersch, and the security video has become the central evidence as media attention grows due to Glore’s TV appearance and celebrity clients.
