Actor Alec Baldwin has turned over his cell phone to authorities amidst an ongoing investigation into the fatal shooting on the "Rust" movie set, the Santa Fe Sheriff's Office announced Friday. Authorities said Baldwin may have discussed the film's production on the phone months prior to the incident.
Officials said they have not yet retrieved physical possession of the phone's data, but that they are in the process of doing so. Investigators will gather information from the phone, including photos, text messages, social network private messages, contacts, recent call history, GPS data and other files before providing any evidence to the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office.
According to a search warrant issued by a New Mexico judge in December, information obtained from the phone that is deemed irrelevant to the investigation will be "sealed and later destroyed as soon as feasible."
