The 'Rust' film set armorer charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins is now also being charged with tampering with evidence.
June 22, 2023, 8:16 PM
On Thursday, state prosecutors in Santa Fe, New Mexico, amended their criminal complaint against the defendant to include the new charge. They claim in the court filing, obtained by ABC News, that Gutierrez-Reed "did transfer narcotics to another person with the intent to prevent the apprehension, prosecution or conviction of herself.
Bowles also responded with his own court filing on behalf of the film armorer, asking a judge to dismiss the new information and to order the state prosecutor turn over emails between the investigator, the district attorney, and state prosecutors.Last month, attorneys for Gutierrez-Reed filed a motion to dismiss her case in the fatal on-set shooting of Hutchins.
The two charges of involuntary manslaughter against actor Alec Baldwin, who was holding the gun when it went off, were dropped in April.
