Authorities in Florida arrested 33-year-old Scott Allen Gardner on June 19, 2025, in connection with the death of his 18-month-old son, Sebastian Gardner. The Volusia Sheriff\u2019s Office and the Ormond Beach Police Department charged him with aggravated manslaughter of a child and child neglect causing severe harm.<\/p>\n

The charges against Scott came after a heartbreaking\u00a0series of events<\/a>\u00a0that unfolded earlier in the month. On June 6, Scott left Sebastian alone in a hot truck for almost three hours while he got a haircut and then spent time drinking inside Hanky Panky\u2019s Lounge.<\/p>\n

During questioning, Scott changed his story more than once. Medical teams later found that Sebastian\u2019s body temperature had soared to 111 degrees. The officer who had tried to save Sebastian\u2019s life was the same one who arrested Scott at his mother\u2019s house in Ormond Beach.<\/p>\n
