Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, as well as tampering with evidence.
allegedly handed off a small bag of cocaine following her interview with police, prosecutors claim in a new court filing.
A motion filed on Thursday seeking to protect the identity of a witness sheds new light on the alleged incident. Prosecutors stated in the filing that the witness claimed Gutierrez-Reed "transferred a small bag of cocaine" to them after she returned from her interview at the police station on the day of the shooting.
Prosecutors said they are requesting to protect the identity of this witness due to the witness' concerns about being "blacklisted" in the film industry for coming forward with information about Gutierrez-Reed. The witness, who has not been included on the previous witness list, also wants to protect their privacy amid "enormous" press coverage of the case, according to the filing.
