A Tacoma Art Museum visitor is accused of snapping off a chunk of Chihuly art worth $120,000.

"We had an individual who came to the museum who willfully broke a work of art," said Stephanie Stebich, director of the Tacoma Art Museum.

Prosecutors said Jon Malcolm Maleak Meys walked through an exhibit on Friday and swung his arm at the glass, breaking a chunk off of the piece.
