MILWAUKEE—A U.S. man pleaded guilty Wednesday to providing the stun gun used to rob an orchestra concertmaster of a $5 million Stradivarius violin.
Universal K. Allah, 36, faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $50,000 fine when he is sentenced in late July.
Mr. Allah provided the stun gun used to attack and rob a violin concertmaster of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra in January, according to the criminal complaint. The concertmaster dropped the instrument, and the robber grabbed it, jumped into a waiting vehicle and fled.
