Alec Baldwin was super sloppy with firearms on the "Rust" movie set before the infamous fatal shooting ... at least that's what prosecutors are claiming ahead of his trial.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, prosecutors in New Mexico say they intend to introduce evidence Alec was negligent with a firearm on set even before cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot and killed with a gun Alec was holding.

The prosecution claims at one point during filming, Alec recklessly pointed and fired a blank round at a crew member while using the crew member as a line of sight.

9:03 AM PT -- TMZ has obtained the police report tied to Justin Timberlake's arrest -- and the cops spell out exactly what they say they saw while Justin was on the road. Per the doc, Sag Harbor police say they first spotted Justin after he blew past a stop sign a little more than half a mile away from the American Hotel ... where he left a get-together with friends.

Cops say that's when they started following Justin ... at which point they claim he failed to stay in a straight line on the road -- tailing him for about another half mile before they finally hit the lights. Justin was eventually pulled over at an intersection -- which is in a residential area, mind you -- and at that point, cops say they suspected he was under the influence.

The signs that cops cite for their determination ... bloodshot/glassy eyes, a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his breath, unable to divide attention, slowed speech, unsteady afoot ... and cops go on to say he performed poorly on all field sobriety tests.

Adele gave one young fan the experience of a lifetime, and we're not sure who was more excited about the moment ... Adele or the little girl dressed just like the singer.

The Grammy winner came across her mini-me during her Vegas residency Sunday night as she sang "When We Were Young," and she beamed as she stumbled upon the girl dressed in a tiny version of one of her iconic looks -- a black and white Schiaparelli couture gown designed by Daniel Roseberry.

In the video -- posted by the fan's mom, Alexandra Arguello -- Adele is seen making a beeline for the little girl and declaring, "I love your dress."

Jessica Biel spent Monday working on her new show in NYC ... hours before her hubby Justin Timberlake was booked in the Hamptons for driving under the influence.
