A DAD has been arrested after his helpless 18-month-old son died from being locked in a blazing hot car for three excruciating hours.

Scott Allen Gardner, 33, got a haircut and went drinking at a bar while his little boy’s temperature rose to a brutal 111 degrees, police said.

The dad stands accused of ditching his son in the middle of the afternoon on June 6, when temperatures in Ormond Beach, Florida, north of Orlando, soared to 92 degrees.

After finally leaving Hanky Panky’s Lounge, Gardner went on to wait hours before finally calling the police and reporting the death, the Volusia Sheriff’s Department said.

When detectives interviewed the dad, he allegedly lied multiple times about what had happened.

Two weeks after his son’s death, Gardner was arrested at his mother’s home, video released by the sheriff’s department reveals.

He was sitting on the front porch when cops barged in, and he appeared to be arrested without any protest.

Gardner was cuffed by the same Ormond Beach police officer who desperately tried to save his son’s life.

While Gardner was being led out, someone could be heard saying, “Scotty I love you,” and he said, “Love you guys” back.

“Say goodbye because you’re not gonna come back here again,” responded one of the arresting officers.

Gardner’s mom mourned the loss of the baby on Facebook and shared several pictures of the dad holding his son.

“This is a challenging time for me and my family, but together we will find strength,” wrote the grandmother on Facebook.

She also shared a fundraiser where friends and family gave money and shared their condolences.

Gardner has been charged with aggravated manslaughter of a child and child neglect, causing great bodily harm.

Officials said they would release more information about his arrest on Friday.

PARENTS WARNED

Safety experts have urged parents not to lock their children in a car, even on cloudy days that don’t seem hot.

Children’s temperatures rise three to five times faster than adults, so being trapped in a warm environment can turn dangerous very quickly, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

When a child’s body temperature reaches about 104 degrees, heatstroke can happen.

Once the temperature reaches 107 degrees, the child can die.

In 2024, a devastating 39 children died of heatstroke while trapped in vehicles. That number was up 35% from 2023.

Parents should know that rolling down windows or parking in the shade does little to prevent potentially fatal heat from getting trapped inside a car.

Kids should never be left for any period of time, and parents should make it a habit to check their entire vehicle before leaving.

Around 50% of deaths take place after parents forget that a sleeping kid was in the backseat.

The arrest comes after a dad trapped his daughter in a 109-degree car so he could go inside their home and play PlayStation.

He claimed that the car was running with the air conditioning but it abruptly shut off while he was gone.

And a father was devastated when an elderly family member forgot to take his twin toddlers out of a car in the summer.

SHOPPERS will soon see faster lines for self-checkout after years of chaos at stores sparked a new law.

More employees will be stationed at checkout lanes thanks to a measure brought forward to stop retail theft.

Long Beach, a city in Los Angeles, is taking steps to stop shoppers who steal store items by using self-checkout kiosks.

The city council voted to require a new staffing ratio in a local ordinance called “Safe Stores are Staffed Stores,” which marks the first of its kind in the US.

The law will establish a “two-to-one” rule, meaning grocery stores and retailers will be required to have at least one worker for every two self-checkout stations.

The ordinance will also mandate self-checkout lanes to limit shoppers to buying 15 items or fewer.

This means check-out lines will likely be slashed as shoppers will only have to scan under 15 items, meaning the process will be much faster.

Plus, customers who need help at the kiosks will be able to get it more quickly.

Stores could be fined up to $2,500 for every hour that a store fails to meet the new staffing standards.

The law will apply to grocery stores and drug stores including Walmart and Aldi.

Long Beach’s city council voted to approve the ordinance on Tuesday, according to the Long Beach Post.

The city will now take 30 days to finalize the law.

The massive move takes aim at theft, as there was a 16% rise in petty thefts in the city from 2023 to 2024, officials said at the meeting.

Some opposed people questioned if staffing would really help the issue.

Other supporters argued the law will “proactively address retail theft and advance the preservation of public safety,” according to The CW affiliate KTLA.

Grocery store workers at the meeting spoke out about the chaos caused by retail theft that they’ve seen at self-checkout lanes, as some of them aren’t allowed to interfere.

“Habitual shoplifters are emboldened by company policy, which prohibits employees from assuming, confronting, or accusing,” said Jose Espinoza, a Vons supervisor, according to the Long Beach Post.

“As a result, I’ve witnessed hundreds, if not thousands of dollars walk right out the front door on a daily basis.”

Officials with the United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 324 supported the proposal earlier this year because they said they were understaffed.

The union said employees were often forced to monitor up to 10 self-checkout machines by themselves at once.

This means they sometimes had to run back and forth between lanes that were on opposite ends of the store.

Petty theft in Long Beach is reportedly trending downward already in 2025.

However, cops at the city council meeting said the reports don’t account for unreported crimes, which often include shoplifting.
