'Rust' shooting investigation: Alec Baldwin has turned in cellphone, authorities say

Alec Baldwin has handed over his cellphone to authorities, according to officials.

The cellphone was turned over to authorities in Suffolk County in New York state, the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office confirmed to Fox News Digital Friday. Investigators will gather evidence from the phone and turn over the information to the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office.

Baldwin's civil attorney, Aaron Dyer of the firm Pillsbury, Winthrop, Shaw, Pittman also confirmed the cellphone had been turned over in a statement to Fox News Digital.

"Alec voluntarily provided his phone to the authorities this morning so they can finish their investigation," Dyer said.

"But this matter isn’t about his phone, and there are no answers on his phone. Alec did nothing wrong. It is clear that he was told it was a cold gun and was following instructions when this tragic accident occurred. The real question that needs to be answered is how live rounds got on the set in the first place."

Dyer previously told Fox News Digital that the actor would be handing over his phone this week.

The search warrant for the cellphone was approved by a Santa Fe County magistrate judge on Dec. 16. The lead detective on the case served the warrant to Baldwin through his attorney via email, and the attorney acknowledged it, according to the sheriff's department press release.

After Baldwin didn't immediately hand over the cellphone, the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Department enlisted the help of the Santa Fe District Attorney's Office and authorities in the state of New York.

Supeona the phone company records of his account and make him accountable for any deletions that he made.

I know, a pipe dream. A person can wish.

Same question. We already know he was there and plenty of folks witnessed it. He said he did it.

It’s not like we’re trying to figure out who was there. Do they think he planned it, like they’re going to find a text that says “Hey, maybe I’ll shoot this chick today”?

"Was it wiped? You mean with a cloth?"

Or did he used the other Clinton method of taking a hammer to them?

I bet every day he wishes that he had gotten a vasectomy. After the 1st child with this fake Spanish nutter I would have performed it myself.

Bit too late. It appears the law enforcement officials in New Mexico did not do a very credible investigation. That whole set and the people on it should have been immediately locked down, evidence and statements taken and the shooting should have been recreated to learn just how it occurred and where everyone was at the time.

Baldwin will never be charged.

You think he turned in a different one?
You think they can’t find that out?
No way his lawyers would allow that.

I would think any communications he had on the phone would be in The Cloud somewhere.

Two Questions:

1. Was it the Phone he had at the time of the shooting?

2. Was it bricked?

There’s still a living eyewitness to the entire incident: the dude (can’t recall if he was the director or not) that was standing behind the cinematographer and was wounded by the same weapon.

That’s gotta count for something!

He turns his cell phone almost 3 months after the murder? Nothing fishy about that right?

"Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun while filming a scene in New Mexico, causing the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza.

The Sheriff’s office said in a statement that Hutchins and Souza “were shot when a prop firearm was discharged by Alec Baldwin, 68, producer and actor.”

The Sheriff’s office is referring to this incident as a shooting investigation,” Sheriff’s spokesman Juan Rios said. “That detail will be addressed by detectives as they work their case.” The Sheriff’s office did say that the shooting occurred “during filming of a scene.”

"The Sheriff's Department has confirmed it was Baldwin who pulled the trigger during the gun accident. 42-year-old director of photography Halyna Hutchins died from her injuries."

"As we've reported, Alec and co. were rehearsing for a shoot-out scene inside a church. Alec, the lead, was using a .45 Colt revolver. Baldwin reportedly said, "So, I guess I'm gonna take this out, pull it out and go, 'Bang!'" -- at which point, Baldwin actually carried out the gesture and fired.

Yeah, but did he turn in his Splenda packet? If not why not?
