Miguel Roman Jr., 30, who is charged with reckless conduct, endangering the welfare of a child and falsifying physical evidence, appeared in Hillsborough County Superior Court-North on Monday afternoon. It was his first court appearance since he and the boy’s mother were arrested Friday after police were called to Elliot Hospital the previous night for a boy who was being treated for a gunshot wound. Jennifer Puglisi, the boy’s mother, is also charged with reckless conduct and endangering the welfare of a child. She waived her appearance Monday after posting bail of $7,500 cash or surety. Assistant County Attorney Nicole Schultz-Price told Judge Gillian Abramson that the parents stored a .22 caliber handgun in a plastic bin on a shelf, where the 7-year-old boy found it and shot himself in the leg Thursday night. “It was easily accessible by the 7-year-old child as well as the other two children (4 and 8) who were in the home,” Schultz-Price said during a brief hearing Monday afternoon.
