COLERAIN TOWNSHIP, Ohio —A man is being held on $2,000 bond after he was accused of posting a photo on Facebook that showed him with a baby and a gun.

Dominic Gaines was arrested early Sunday after police said he posted the photo Saturday night. He was charged with one count of child endangering.

Police said the gun turned out to be a BB gun.

"Due to close proximity of the BB gun to the child, there is a substantial risk of physical harm and safety of the child," court documents stated.

In court Monday, Gaines said it was all a misunderstanding. His attorney said Gaines was holding the 1-year-old girl playing with the gun while visiting with some of his relatives.

The attorney said Gaines' ex-wife saw the photo and called police.

Gaines' father told News 5's Andrew Setters that the BB gun was pointed toward the ground, not the baby.

At his arraignment, Gaines’ attorney said the baby was never in any danger.

"What had happened was he had his nephews over, as well as his daughter, they were all playing. He was playing with a BB gun with his nephews. His brother walked in and wanted to take a picture of him with his daughter, he incidentally happened to be holding the BB gun in the picture," Andy Schoenling said.

This surprises you? They are going to make it illegal to jailbreak a phone. Serve hard time for modifying hardware you purchase. When will people in this country wake the fuck up?

"You'll shoot your eye out!"

He should be arrested for having a fully automatic AK-47

Bogus case will be thrown but not before causin him undue stress.

If you are a banker orchestrating billions in fraud no arrest. Holding a kid and a legal BB gun? Cops are on their way.

We had a boy killed by a BB gun not too long ago here. The BB entered his chest and struck his heart killing him. There was also another boy who BB went through his eye and struck his brain killing him. So what the father did was reckless.

I know somebody who lost his child because they were hit by a drunk driver. How reckless of him to take his child out where he might get by a drunk driver.

Like anything bad can happen when holding a baby and fooling around with the gun.
What's next?

Disarm toddlers all together, so they can't protect their fathers being bullied by a powerful black man?
Where does it end??

he probably is thinking of this because he is too fucking stupid to know the difference between a bb gun and .177 pellet gun. to be killed by a bb gun would pretty much take an act of god.

The BB gun was pointed to the ground. It was as safe as it could be.

Amazing thread.

Amazing that y'all take the attorney's version of everything. Which of course comes from who ?

Amazing the total lack of concern for the baby.

Amazing anyone can look at the photo and think the gun being there was incidental.

Its a posed photo someone was proud enough of to post it on Facebook.

You are wrong, it wasn't reckless at all. Think about the mechanics involved in shooting someone you are holding, with a rifle. It would be difficult even if you were actively trying to do it.
Edit: I see it wasn't a rifle. Easier to accomplish, but to accidentally screw up like that while seated would take a special kind of stupid. Still not reckless.

This is actually true. We have no idea what else was or wasn't going on. Based only upon the photo it is BS but maybe there was more going on.

Yea for all we know there was a bunch of rabid bunnies behind the camera about to tear off the kids face.

We don't know anything other than what was in the photo, and the photo tells us this was a bogus, unfounded arrest.

No the photo isn't all we know. We know he was arrested.

That means people who know more about it than we do thought an arrest was warranted.

You saying it was bogus is you claiming to know something you can't know. And being willing to err on the side of a guy who poses with a gun and a baby and not on the safety of the baby.
