New Mexico authorities on Thursday said they were working with police in New York state to obtain Alec Baldwin’s cellphone after the actor failed to give up to despite a search warrant to seize it.
The Santa Fe Sheriff’s Office and New Mexico First Judicial District Attorney’s Office are ‘actively working’ with the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department, New York, and Baldwin’s lawyers to get any materials on the phone pertaining to their investigation, according to a press release.
The investigation relates to a probe into the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Western movie ‘Rust.’
Baldwin, 63, could be seen in photos pacing around the outdoor set while talking on the cellphone immediately after the fatal shooting.
A lawyer for Baldwin did not respond to requests for comment as to why the actor has not yet handed over his cellphone to authorities.
