Santa Fe County Police has issued a search warrant to search the phone of Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin following investigation into the fatal shooting of cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, on the New Mexico set of his film Rust in October.
The search warrant was issued on Thursday December 16, as the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s office believes there are key conversations on Baldwin’s phone related to what led to the prop gun death of Halyna Hutchins in October.
The “affiant” is identified within the documents as a “full-time, certified peace officer” and a “Violent Crimes Detective in the Criminal Investigations Division” with the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Department.

“Affiant is requesting a warrant for the seizure and search of Alec Baldwins’ cell phone to search for any evidence relating to the death investigation of Halyna Hutchins,” said Sheriff’s Office Det. Alexandria Hancock in a search warrant approved by a judge, Deadline reported.
Investigators previously asked the 63-year-old actor for his phone but he told them they would need to get a warrant, according to the document, which was obtained by The Post.
