Judge dismisses request for drug test in 'Rust' movie shooting case involving Alec Baldwin
Fox News
The former weapons supervisor, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, involved in the movie "Rust" shooting that led to the death of their cinematographer won't be required to take a drug test.
Prosecutors say Gutierrez-Reed passed narcotics to another person to avoid legal consequences in the immediate aftermath of the fatal shooting in October 2021, while contending in court documents that the armorer was likely hungover on the day a live bullet was placed into the gun Baldwin used.
Defense attorney Jason Bowles said the drug use allegations are unsubstantiated and undocumented.
It's still unclear how several live rounds of ammunition got on set. Prosecutors say they have some evidence to support the theory that Gutierrez-Reed may be responsible for the introduction of the rounds.
