Movie armourer on Alec Baldwin's film Rust pleads guilty to gun charge in separate case

In short:

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armourer in Alec Baldwin's film Rust, has pleaded guilty to a gun charge separate to the case involving the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on set.

She was implicated in the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins, alleged to have unwittingly brought live ammunition onto the movie set and failed to follow basic gun safety protocols.

What's next?

In exchange for her guilty plea, Gutierrez-Reed has been granted a reduced sentence of 18 months' supervised probation.

The weapons supervisor in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer by Alec Baldwin on the set of the Western film Rust has pleaded guilty to a separate criminal charge of carrying a gun into a licensed liquor establishment.

Movie armourer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed agreed to change her plea to guilty on the charge on Monday, local time, in exchange for a reduced sentence of 18 months' supervised probation.

Judge T Glenn Ellington approved the agreement that allows Gutierrez-Reed to begin probation while serving out an 18-month prison term at a New Mexico state penitentiary for involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

In the Rust case, prosecutors blamed Gutierrez-Reed for unwittingly bringing live ammunition onto the movie set and for failing to follow basic gun safety protocols.

Gutierrez-Reed shuffled into the Santa Fe courtroom on Monday in a beige jumpsuit, handcuffs and ankle shackles to change her plea to guilty and waive her right to trial.

The movie set of Rust at Bonanza Creek Ranch seen in October 2021.

"I'd just like to apologise to the court and thank you for your judgement today," she said.

The case stems from evidence that a few weeks before Rust began filming in October 2021, Gutierrez-Reed carried a gun into a downtown bar in Santa Fe where firearms are prohibited.

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 armourer's phone during the Rust investigation.

Gutierrez-Reed was convicted in March at trial of involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of Hutchins. She has an appeal of that conviction pending in a higher court.

Baldwin, the lead actor and co-producer for Rust, was pointing a gun at Hutchins during a rehearsal for the film when the revolver went off, killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza.

In July, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed an involuntary manslaughter case against Baldwin halfway through a trial based on the withholding of evidence by police and prosecutors from the defence.

Ms Morrissey has since asked the judge to reconsider.

Under terms of her plea agreement, Gutierrez-Reed is prohibited while on probation from possessing firearms, consuming alcohol or drugs, and must pay $US180 ($264) in fees while submitting a sample of her DNA to a criminal database and completing an addiction treatment program.

Defence lawyer Jason Bowles said the agreement makes it possible for Gutierrez-Reed to be released from prison as soon as June 2025 to complete probation in Arizona without getting an additional felony conviction on her record.

Before being led away, Gutierrez-Reed blew kisses toward the court gallery where her mother, Stacy Reed, was seated.

Ms Reed said she was grateful her daughter could begin to fulfil new parole requirements prior to release from prison.
