Rust armorer pleads guilty to gun charge in separate case


Hannah Gutierrez-Reed changed her plea in exchange for a reduced sentence for carrying a gun into a bar

The weapons supervisor in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer by Alec Baldwin on the set of the Western film Rust pleaded guilty Monday to a separate criminal charge of carrying a gun into a licensed liquor establishment. Special prosecutor Kari Morrissey said Gutierrez-Reed filmed herself in the bathroom of the bar with a handgun – explaining how she snuck in the prohibited firearm in a video that was obtained when authorities searched the armorer’s phone during the Rust investigation. Under terms of her plea agreement, Gutierrez-Reed is prohibited while on probation from possessing firearms, consuming alcohol or drugs, and must pay $180 in fees while submitting a sample of her DNA to a criminal database and completing an addiction treatment program.
