COLERAIN TOWNSHIP, OH (FOX19) - Police have arrested a Colerain man after he posted a photo of himself on Facebook holding his 1-year-old daughter and a BB gun.
Domonic Gaines, 22, was arrested after the incident which occurred at his home on Suliner Drive Sunday.
According to reports, police initially believed that Gaines was holding a handgun in the photo. However, police say the gun in question turned out to be a BB gun.
The photo depicted Gaines holding his daughter, Paradise Gaines, along with the BB gun. Police say that the close proximity of the gun to the child created a substantial risk of physical harm.
Police say they found the BB gun at the residence after the arrest was made.
"It's really been blown out of proportion," said Gaines' father, Wilson Dykes.
Dykes claims that it was the baby's maternal grandmother who saw the photo and called the police.
Gaines was arraigned on Monday morning on Child Endangerment charges. He's being held without bond in the Hamilton County Jail.

Wow, have a gun around a kid is a crime now. We have fallen so far.
I agree. I wonder what actual law he would have violated. Were they afraid that the heavy gun might fall on the child and smash his/her toe later?
Do the police not have better things to do?
Maternal grandmother. Probably a nasty tempered, interfering old woman. And I am a woman.
Mother-in-law. Figures.
No sure but I saw some where it was a BB gun and it was also pointed at the babys head.....Not the best choice for a father and child pose to put on face book and if true denotes a screw loose on the fathers part
So the next time a uniformed badgemonkey picks up a child and puts him within inches of his duty weapon said JBT needs to be arrested and charged for the exact same crime.
Man we have GOT to start thinning out the morons and control freaks infesting government.
Astonishing.
Our unionized police are no different than any government workers.
It’s all about their rice bowl and who can take it from them.
The poor little girl's name is "Paradise Gaines." Any father who gives his daughter a ready made stripper name has a few screws loose.
“arrested after the incident which occurred at his home”
What incident!? A picture was taken? ............... GEEZ
They would really freak out about the pic of the girl that said bye to her dad while he was in a military formation. Everyone was carrying the evil black rifle.
Well come on FR Jack Boot Lickers! Tell us again how the police are on "our side" (whatever that is.) Tell us how they are not instruments of tyranny because they were just doing their jobs and you want them to go home at night, etc.
Seeing how long it is before some idiot posts something attacking me personally for blasphemy for saying something unkind about their blue gods.
Well I guess the guy did not have a dog, so harassing him was the best they could do.
Incident? INCIDENT? INCIDENT?!!!!
What incident? What are these reporters smoking?
Priorities I guess.
She has a screw loose.
Yep, but the police and DA need to be beat down for this crap.
I think this is great and view it as our cue to immediately begin videotaping EVERY PUBLIC SERVANT we can find at all times,at work, at home, in the bar, brothel, local drug dealers house....and begin posting them online for the world to see. And of course any time someone observes ANY PUBLIC SERVANT doing anything remotely questionable CALL 911.
What was his crime, Child Endangerment. It is bull.
Yes well said.
