Yes. Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer on the film Rust, was released from a New Mexico prison on May 23, 2025, according to the Associated Press. She had been sentenced to 18 months after a jury convicted her of involuntary manslaughter in the 2021 death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The sentence length is established; accounts differed on how long she was physically in custody.
When and where was Gutierrez-Reed released?

How much of the 18-month sentence did she serve?
The 18 months refers to the prison sentence imposed by the court, not a consistently reported count of months spent in custody. Reports described the time differently: CBS framed her release as occurring 13 months after her conviction, while the Los Angeles Times reported that she had served 14 months. Those are outlet-specific accounts, and neither changes the sentence imposed.
Why was the Rust armorer imprisoned?
In March 2024, a jury convicted Gutierrez-Reed of involuntary manslaughter in connection with Hutchins’s death on the Rust set in 2021. The jury acquitted her of evidence-tampering allegations. On April 15, 2024, she was sentenced to 18 months in prison, as reported by the Associated Press in its sentencing coverage.
