THE father of a boy who shot himself in the abdomen last week has been charged with a crime.

Magistrate Simone Brown charged Grand Bahama resident Joshua McPhee, 44, of 504 Dundee Bay Villas, with unlawfully exposing a six-year-old child to grievous harm.

On October 10, the child was allegedly found in possession of an unlicenced black 9mm firearm and ammunition.

Simeon Brown represented McPhee, who pleaded not guilty to the charges.

On the charge of exposing a child to grievous harm, he was granted $6,000 bail with one or two sureties and $7,000 bail with two sureties on the firearm and ammunition possession charges.

He was ordered to sign in at the police station on Mondays and Fridays before 6pm. His case was adjourned to February 26, 2023.
