Kasparians wife, Constance, had filed for a divorce but agreed to meet him for lunch. When he exploded, other customers and staff intervened by wrestling him to the ground. His wife has since been released from the hospital. Earlier that same day, a former tenant sued the Kasparians charging them with negligence in connection with an apartment fire that killed two kids. Kasparian was arrested previously in 1972 when he received sentences for welfare fraud and larceny, and in 1993 he was accused of attacking a business partner with a knife but was acquitted.
