Bond has been set for the man charged with the death of his infant daughter.
Miles Lee Ferguson appeared before a judge in Myrtle Beach, SC this morning.
During that hearing, a judge set Ferguson’s bond at $50,000. As a condition of the bond, Ferguson will be allowed to return to Portsmouth, Ohio. He must also surrender his passport, and can only be around children when in the presence of other adults.
Ferguson who is from Portsmouth was on vacation with his family at Myrtle Beach when he was arrested.
Mylee Ferguson who was 5 weeks old was taken to the hospital when she stopped breathing.
Police say hospital workers noticed Mylee's injuries were consistent with Shaken Baby Syndrome. That's when officers arrested Ferguson.
When the little girl died, Miles was charged with homicide by child abuse.
Over the weekend, the Horry County, SC Coroner released preliminary autopsy results..
Coroner Robert Edge tells us that the girl's cause of death was a closed head injury.
Police say that supports their theory that Miles caused his daughter's death.
However, family and friends are adamant that Miles is a devout Christian. They say he would never intentionally hurt his little girl.
