Parents of a 10-year-old Redford boy who accidentally shot himself June 7 will stand trial on multiple felony counts.

David Jaron Cleveland Sr. and LaTonya Renee Cleveland will be arraigned at Wayne County Circuit Court on Sept. 7. They stand charged with second-degree child abuse, a 10-year felony, and felony firearm, a two-year offense.

Both parents waived their preliminary examinations Aug. 24 in front of 17th District Court Judge Charlotte Wirth. In binding them over, Wirth continued LaTonya Cleveland’s $100,000/10 percent bond and David Cleveland Sr.’s $125,000/10 percent bond, according to Redford Police Capt. James Turner.

The shooting incident occurred at about 5:15 p.m. June 7. Police allege David Cleveland had left the living room of his Winston Street home when the boy found an unsecured handgun belonging to his mother and shot himself once in the hand.

The boy was taken to Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak for treatment and later released. At an earlier district court hearing, an attorney for LaTonya Cleveland said the child was taken into the care of child protective services.

The district court preliminary examinations were originally scheduled for June 28. After next month’s Wayne County Circuit Court arraignment, a trial date will likely be set.
