A technician for "The Lion King" musical that is currently on Broadway was arrested last week for allegedly using a 3D printer at work to print a plastic gun.
According to the New York Daily News, 47-year-old Ilya Vett is a puppet technician for the show. Police were called Friday after theater security spotted the printer and a partially printed gun.
A responding detective noticed the printer was "powered on, moving, and in operation."
The Daily News quoted the criminal complaint against Vett as saying there was a memory card sticking out of the printer, which was printing something that "has a hand grip and a pointed, snub-nosed nozzle, and in between the two features, an empty space where it is customary for a cylinder holding live rounds of ammunition to be placed."
Vett claimed he was printing the gun for his brother, who has a gun license at his upstate New York home. He was making the gun at work because his home workshop was "too dusty."
Vett was charged with attempted criminal weapon possession, according to the Daily News.
3D-printed guns are illegal to make because they are undetectable. A ruling over the summer blocked the release of blueprints on the Internet, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions vowed to prosecute anyone who made the weapons.
