FLINT, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) - Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton
announced charges Tuesday against a Flint father whose 2-year-old
daughter accidentally shot herself on Valentine's Day.

The father, 44-year-old Michael Tolbert, was arraigned over the weekend
on charges of first-degree child abuse, violating Michigan's new safe
storage of firearms law, being a felon in possession of a firearm, being
a felon in possession of ammunition, lying to a police officer and five
counts of felony firearm.

According to the prosecutor's office, the man's daughter shot herself in
the face with his loaded handgun. The prosecutor says the bullet entered
the girl's right eye and exited through her skull. She remains in
critical condition.

It is the first criminal complaint filed under Michigan's new "safe
storage" laws that went into effect on Feb. 13.

Under the new law, Michigan residents are required to keep firearms that
are being stored or left unattended on premises unloaded and locked with
a locking device, a locked box or a container if it is "reasonably
known" that a minor will be or could likely be present. The state's
criminal code was also updated for gun safety storage for child access
protection.

If someone does not properly store a gun and a minor obtains it, they
will be held accountable for the crimes in the following ways:

If the minor possesses or exhibits the firearm in a public place or
possesses or exhibits the firearm in the presence of another person in a
careless, reckless or threatening manner: a misdemeanor punishable by
imprisonment for up to 93 days or a fine of up to $500, or both.

If the minor discharges the firearm and injures themselves or another
individual: a felony punishable by imprisonment for up to five years or
a fine of up to $5,000, or both.

If the minor discharges the firearm and inflicts serious impairment of a
body function on themselves or another individual: a felony punishable
by imprisonment for up to 10 years or a fine of up to $7,500, or both.

If the minor discharges the firearm and inflicts death on themselves or
another individual: a felony punishable by imprisonment for up to 15
years or a fine of up to $10,000, or both.
