On Wednesday, Sept. 4, Gutierrez-Reed's legal team indicated in a court filing obtained by PEOPLE that "the State of New Mexico and Defendant have reached a plea agreement." Gutierrez-Reed has agreed to receive 18 months of probation as part of the agreement, her lawyer Jason Bowles says.
Prior to news of the agreement, the First Judicial District Court of New Mexico was expecting to hear arguments from Gutierrez-Reed's legal team on Sept. 5 about dismissing this charge.
According to previous court documents filed by prosecutors on April 12, investigators discovered a video Gutierrez-Reed took after entering a bar in which she allegedly showed a firearm and said she concealed it from security.
“Upon successfully circumventing the security at the bar she went into the restroom and made a selfie video stating, ‘They checked my purse, but they didn’t check my butt cheeks! ‘Wah wah wah,’ ” those court documents asserted. “At the same time that she was speaking, she held up a nickel-plated semi-automatic pistol in front of the camera.”
