Dad wants his kid to be a chip off the old cellblock

I kid you not on this one: (pun intended)

It came over the radio mid-afternoon. Police officers were called to a family disturbance in a hospital room at Torrance Memorial Medical Center.

Here's what I was told happened: A woman in a dating relationship gave birth. Dad went to the hospital and he and mom discussed the baby's name. Things got a bit heated.

"The father apparently threatens that if she doesn't give the child his name, he'll kill her," Lt. Bob Picker said.

Hospital staff alerted Torrance police.

Dad stormed out of the hospital and wasn't there when officers arrived. They conducted a "terrorist threat investigation" that names dad as the suspect.

This could be a problem for good ole Dad. We heard over the radio that he's a parolee.

We aren't sure how this will all turn out, but we just want to wish Poppa an early "Happy Father's Day!"

And here's a silly video about baby names:
