Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the armorer for the film 'Rust', has accepted a plea deal for sneaking a gun into a bar in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and will serve 18 months of probation. She is concurrently serving an 18-month prison sentence for involuntary manslaughter related to the 2021 death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, after a jury found her responsible for a live round being loaded into a prop gun used by Alec Baldwin. The bar incident occurred just weeks before Hutchins' death, and Gutierrez Reed's defense claims the new charge was vindictive and an attempt to pressure her into accepting guilt regarding the shooting. Baldwin's manslaughter charges were dismissed due to withheld evidence, and Gutierrez Reed's lawyers are seeking to overturn her conviction on similar grounds, with a hearing scheduled for September 26. The new plea deal does not affect the standing of her manslaughter conviction or prison sentence.
