A $15,000 bond was set Wednesday for a White Hall man accused of endangering the welfare of a minor.
Jefferson County District Judge Kim Bridgforth set the bond for Travis Simmons, 26, based on an affidavit by Detective Keith Banks.
Deputy Prosecutor Brittaney Akel said at 2:49 p.m. Tuesday, police were sent to an apartment at 2300 Woodgate to investigate a report that a two-year-old child had shot himself.
Reading from an affidavit by Detective Keith Banks, Akel told the court what police found.
Akel said Simmons has no prior felony convictions but has three failures to appear in district courts.
Simmons was ordered to have no contact with the victim and told to come back to court Sept. 12.
