LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Alec Baldwin has returned to film sets again after charges against him was dropped on Friday. Hailey Baldwin's dad resumed shooting the upcoming movie at the Yellowstone Film Ranch in Paradise Valley, Montana. The Santa Fe County District Attorney’s office announced last Thursday that it was dropping charges against Baldwin “without prejudice.” As we know the 'Saturday Night Live' alum vehemently denied ever pulling the gun’s trigger and pleaded not guilty in February. However, charges that were brought against Hannah Gutierrez-Reed. Nevertheless, Baldwin’s co-defendant and the on-set armorer at the time of the shooting have yet to be cleared. As a result, the Oscar nominee’s involvement in Hutchins’ death could still be investigated. Apart from Baldwin, the Joel Souza's upcoming film will also star Travis Fimmel, Brady Noon, Frances Fisher, and Jensen Ackles.
