Milwaukee man sentenced in Stradivarius violin theft

MILWAUKEE (WLS) -- A Milwaukee man whose stun gun was used in the theft of a $5 million Stradivarius violin is sentenced to three and a half years in prison.

Universal Allah pleaded guilty in May to being party to felony robbery.

In January, a concertmaster was attacked after a performance and his violin was stolen.

The Stradivarius was recovered.

Another man is also charged in the case. His plea hearing was postponed after his public defender withdrew from the case.
