Scott Allen Gardner, 33, was arrested for aggravated manslaughter and child neglect after leaving his 18-month-old son, Sebastian, in a hot truck for over three hours. While Gardner was getting a haircut and drinking at a bar, authorities reported that the truck's interior temperature likely reached dangerous levels. Sheriff Michael Chitwood criticized Gardner's actions, emphasizing that there was no reason for the child's death, and described him as unrepentant, sharing that Gardner provided false statements about the incident before his arrest.
Sheriff Michael Chitwood stated, 'I want to start out by saying this father is a human piece of garbage, and he's a lying sack of s---. He's actually where he belongs, behind bars.'
Medical personnel assessed that the temperature inside the truck likely 'reached 111 degrees,' while it was approximately 90 degrees outside during the incident.
