Considering what we've all seen over the last few years, that shouldn't surprise anyone here.
And he's not going to be arrested or formally charged. If that was going to happen it would've happened by now.

Not necessarily would Baldwin have been arrested or even charged by now. So far, there isn’t evidence of a criminal charge (outside of criminal negligence) nor does Baldwin appear to be a flight risk.
I’ll bet Baldwin is speaking out
against legal advice. We know Hollywood is populated mostly by anti 2A zealots sequestered from society and obsessed with surrounding themselves with like-minded phonies in fantasy-land.
It seems to me that Baldwin is and always has viewed himself outside the norms of societal rules. He probably thinks the court of public opinion has more authority than actual courts do and that the public opinion in which he exists is the only one.
It will be interesting, if this goes to a jury trial, will the jury be truly a jury of his peers, i.e., abuncha Hollywood types.
