MARCH 18--The Indiana man who accidentally shot himself in the * and scrotum has been charged with carrying a handgun without a license, according to court records.

Mark Anthony Jones, 46, is facing a Class-A misdemeanor weapons charge in connection with the February 28 incident in Marion. A decision to charge Jones (seen at right) was made this month by the Grant County Prosecutor?s Office after police forwarded the case for review.

Jones, who lives in Marion, is the subject of an active arrest warrant filed in Marion City Court.

According to police, Jones suffered an ?accidental self-inflicted gunshot injury? while walking on a Marion street. During a hospital interview, Jones told cops that he had a Hi-Point 9mm handgun tucked in his waistband when the weapon ?began to slip.?

The weapon was not in a holster.

When, Jones said, he ?reached down to adjust? the gun, the firearm discharged. ?The bullet entered just above his * and exited his scrotum,? investigators reported. (1 page)
