Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria were pulled over by police in the Hamptons on Saturday (18 December).
Photographs emerged over the weekend of Baldwin waiting inside their car while Hilaria spoke with an East Hamptons Police officer on the side of the road, before taking out her phone and displaying the screen.
The Independent has contacted representatives for the Baldwins and the East Hamptons police for comment.
Baldwin has said he did not know the gun contained a live round and that investigators must find out who put it in the weapon.
