NEW YORK — A puppet specialist with the Broadway musical “The Lion King” is accused of printing a 3-D gun in the theatre’s prop room.
Ilya Vett was arrested last week on a misdemeanour charge.
A criminal complaint says a police officer observed a 3-D printer producing a “hard black plastic object” shaped like a revolver.
It says Vett told a detective that he was making a gun as a gift for his brother, who lives upstate and has a gun license.
