A search warrant has been issued for Alec Baldwin’s phone in the investigation into October’s fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of the actor/director’s film Rust, according to New Mexico court documents.
The search warrant and accompanying affidavit were filed on Thursday in Santa Fe county magistrate court nearly two weeks after a New Mexico prosecutor overseeing the investigation said some of the individuals who handled guns on the film set may face criminal charges in the death of Halyna Hutchins.
“There were several emails and text messages sent and received regarding the movie production Rust in the course of (police) interviews,” the document said.
Baldwin was holding a handgun on the film set when it went off during rehearsal.
