MIAMI — Police say celebrity jeweler Leo Glore became irate at someone blocking his Ferrari as he tried to get into the ritzy Paramount Miami Worldcenter condominium building, eventually leading him to pull a gun on the victim ― and his arrest a little more than a month later.

Glore, 35, has been described by the New York Post as a jeweler "whose clients include 50 Cent and ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ personality Scott Disick" and was seen on season 5 of the Bravo reality show "Below Deck Mediterranean." His Instagram page features photos of him posing with 50 Cent and other celebrities, including rapper Meek Mill and actor Joseph Sikora.

On Friday, he posed for the mugshot camera at Miami-Dade’s Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. That came after Miami police took him into custody on charges of aggravated assault and improper exhibition of a firearm in connection with the March incident. But his attorney is claiming self-defense.

According to an arrest report from the Miami Police Department, the victim was trying to park his car in the garage at the downtown Worldcenter building, located at 851 NE First Ave., at around 12:30 a.m. on March 11 but was having trouble with his key fob.

Police said as the victim waited for the building concierge to help him, Glore, whose full name is listed in the MPD report as Leon J. Glore, pulled up behind him in a white Ferrari and was “honking its horn continuously.”

Authorities said Glore began “yelling obscenities” at the victim, who explained "the gate was malfunctioning and that he was on the phone with the concierge."

The report states that Glore got out of the Ferrari and a “verbal argument” ensued that escalated. Police said Glore took out a black handgun and told the victim, “Give me a reason,” leading the victim to call 911 “in fear for his life.”

Police said they went to the Worldcenter on Friday to take Glore into custody; he declined to speak with them on his attorney’s advice.

He would be released from TGK over the weekend after posting a $5,500 bond, court records show.

Glore’s attorney, Chad Piotrowski, provided comment to Local 10 News Monday afternoon.

"Mr. Glore was initially investigated and released at the scene after officers reviewed the building’s security footage,“ Piotrowski said in an email. ”Weeks later, he was arrested despite that same evidence. Based on the facts and the video, we will be asking the Court to dismiss the charges pursuant to Florida’s Stand Your Ground law.“

Piotrowski submitted a written plea of not guilty in the case. Records show it’s been assigned to Miami-Dade Judge Richard Hersch.
