A man deemed incompetent to stand trial in a child abuse case is facing a federal gun charge. Michael Prudhomme faced charges in 2017 after a one-year-old he was watching was hospitalized with severe scalding burns.
A district court judge ruled Prudhomme was not mentally competent to proceed in the case. Under federal law, that prohibits him from having a gun. A criminal complaint states last year, Prudhomme sold a handgun to an undercover ATF agent for $600.

A one-year-old boy rushed to ICU will never be the same after scalding injuries peeled off his skin.
18-year-old Michael Prudhomme is charged with child abuse with great bodily harm.
The child’s mom said Prudhomme was caring for the baby at an apartment near Central and Western Skies.
The boy was rushed to Lovelace Women’s Hospital with severe burns to his face, scalp and neck in November.
Police say when they tried to question Prudhomme, he said he was going to park the car, but took off instead.
The report states, “Forced immersion of this child’s head under hot flowing liquid lead to extensive burns that are excruciatingly painful and will likely leave permanent scarring.”
