Authorities have reportedly obtained a search warrant that would allow them to review Alec Baldwin’s telephone records.
Authorities Reportedly Get A Search Warrant To Examine Alec Baldwin’s Phone Calls-‘There May Be Evidence On The Phone’
The actor is facing increasing scrutiny in response to the gun prop incident on the set of ‘Rust’ which led to the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
As of now, the investigation has failed to hold anyone accountable for her death. While that may be the case, it has not stopped people from filing lawsuits against the actor.
But in order to get to the bottom of what may have exactly happened, the authorities are now going to review Alec’s interactions with Halyna.
It is no secret that Alec had been in communication with Halyna prior to the gun going off, which is why the authorities are interested to examine any interactions between him and her or anyone else for that matter occurred on the phone.
According to the affidavit, the authorities are looking to do the following: “Affiant is requesting a warrant for the seizure and search of Alec Baldwins’ [sic] cell phone to search for any evidence relating to the death investigation of Halyna.
“There may be evidence on the phone due to individuals using cellular phones during and/or after the commission of crime(s).”
But before this is viewed with any suspicion, it is important to bear in mind that this is a routine procedure in an investigation.
Furthermore, Alec had apparently admitted to the authorities that he had communicated with none other than the movie’s armourer Hannah Gutierrez Reed via email.
And given that it is Hannah’s job to be in the know of what is happening with the use of guns on set, it is only natural to explore those interactions.
The affidavit added: “Affiant believes gathering information prior to the film start date of Rust is essential for a full investigation.”
Representatives for Alec have not responded to this move, which makes it no clearer as to whether the actor is against such a move.
In any event, things will be a lot more clearer once the records have been viewed. But that is something which is going to take time.
