Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer on duty in the set of the movie ‘Rust’ has been accused of transferring narcotics the day that cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot on set.
The allegation was leveled against her by the prosecutor, Kari T. Morrissey, in a statement which revealed that the new charge “relates to the transfer of narcotics to another person” on Oct. 21, 2021, the day of the shooting, “with the intent to prevent criminal prosecution”.
The court filing by the prosecutor does not state what kind of narcotic that the armorer allegedly had in her possession, but the case against her is building by the day.

This comes days after prosecutors also revealed that Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin could still face charges over the fatal shooting on the set of the movie ‘RUST’ which claimed the life of Halyna Hutchins.
The prosecutors in New Mexico also noted that the actor could be made to face the music if forensic tests determine the gun involved did not malfunction.
Santa Fe County prosecutors said in court filings that they would decide within the next 60 days whether to file new charges, after sending the gun that fired the fatal bullet for further testing.
