An Arizona father, who has been accused of leaving his daughter in a hot car, later leading to her demise, has rejected a plea deal in connection to her passing.
In the summer of 2024, Christopher Scholtes allegedly left his 2-year-old girl in his 2023 Honda Acura SUV to nap while temperatures were rising to the extremes outdoors. He had left the vehicle, “distracted” by video games.
An offer was made to reduce his charges from first to second degree m*rder, but the father-of-three has declined.
