Harvey Sliker, 75, of Utica, allegedly forced children ages 5 to 12 to close their windows before blasting the heater during an afternoon ride in Pittsburgh on Wednesday, Sept. 17, according to Sugarcreek Borough police.
Sliker told the children he was “going to cook you all” after the windows were shut, officers said. While the outside temperature was 74 degrees, police determined the closed windows and heater could raise the bus cabin to between 95 and 100 degrees.
