Earlier today, a 34-year-old resident of Kingston named Charles Santos, was accused by law enforcement agents of crafting firearms using a 3D printer. 

The Kingston police arrested and conducted a search in Santos's home, uncovering an AR-style rifle, numerous firearm accessories, 3D printed gun parts, body armor and steroids, as reported by CBS News.

Due to his personal history, Santos is legally prohibited from possessing firearms, as per Boston.com. He is now facing multiple charges, including unlawful possession of a large capacity firearm, possession of ammunition without an FID card, and possessing a Class E drug.

Santos is due for a court appearance at Plymouth District Court to officially respond to these charges.
