'Rust' Armorer Offered Leniency in Exchange for Information on Live Rounds

Hannah Gutierrez Reed faces additional charges after refusing to explain the presence of live ammunition on the set.

Armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed, who loaded the gun for Alec Baldwin on the set of 'Rust', was offered a 'favorable' outcome by the prosecutor if she could explain how live ammunition made it onto the set.
Gutierrez Reed faces up to three years in prison for involuntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence in connection to the death of Halyna Hutchins, the movie's cinematographer.
If Gutierrez Reed refused to provide information about the live rounds, she was warned of facing additional charges. She responded that she had 'no idea' why there was live ammunition on the set.
Two weeks after the prosecutor's offer, Gutierrez Reed was indicted on a charge for carrying a firearm in a liquor establishment, a fourth-degree felony, allegedly as a result of her refusal to provide information.
Gutierrez Reed’s lawyer, Jason Bowles, has argued that the additional charges were filed vindictively as a retaliation and is seeking to have them dismissed.
