Search Warrant Issued For Alec Baldwin Cell Phone

SANTA FE COUNTY, NM. (THECOUNT) — Law enforcement signaled that the cell phone belonging to Alec Baldwin might contain crucial evidence in the “Rust” fatal shooting investigation.

A New Mexico judge signed off on a search warrant requested by the The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Department for the actor’s mobile phone. The move comes nearly 2 months after the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

According to TMZ,

Alec told investigators about emails between head armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed and himself, in which she showed him different styles of guns and knives for the film. He says he requested a bigger gun, and she showed him an antique Colt.

Alec was using a replica of an 1873 Colt 45 at the time of the shooting.

Remember, during his ABC interview … Alec said he’s sure he’s not responsible for Halyna’s death, although he wouldn’t say who was. District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies begged to differ though … saying neither Baldwin nor anyone else who had contact with the weapon was in the clear yet. She stressed the investigation was ongoing.
