5/28/14 - Child abuse charges have been filed against a Brighton man after injuries were found on his 11-week-old daughter. Joshua Quincy Burns was arraigned on May 9th on a charge of 2nd degree child abuse. He is also facing abuse and neglect proceedings in Livingston County probate court. He is free on a $10,000 bond, but the court has barred him from all contact with his infant daughter. The bond also stipulates he may not have any alcohol, marijuana, or illicit drugs, and he may not show any assaultive or threatening behavior. However, he may fly domestically for work. Yesterday, a judge cancelled drug and alcohol testing for Burns, and set an exam for June 10th. In the neglect and abuse case, Burns is scheduled for a settlement conference in front of Judge Miriam Cavanaugh on July 3rd and a jury trial on July 14th. (TD)
