Dad holds butcher's knife to back of 18-month-old daughter's neck (York Township, Pennsylvania)

Dad CEMHAN DIZARLI is another one of those daddy drama queens who apparently loves the whole police standoff thing. This particular POS was holding a knife to the neck of his 18-month-old daughter while threatening to "kill someone." Had the police shot him dead as they had threatened, I wonder how many people would have truly missed this creep....

A York Township man is in prison after holding an 8-inch butcher’s knife to the back of his 18-month-old daughter’s neck. The incident occurred on Sunday, July 10th, during a domestic dispute with the man’s wife, York Area Regional Police said.

Police received a call from a family member at about 2:40pm, the family member stated that Cemhan Dizarli, 39, of the 2700 block of Hunt Club Drive, was holding his wife and daughter hostage with a knife and wouldn’t let them leave. The relative said Dizarli was threatening to “kill someone.”

When officers Alan Stubbs, David Barley, and Terry L. Meyers Jr. arrived at the house, it was quiet, so Meyers ran the doorbell. Officers then heard yelling, but they couldn’t tell what was being said. But, it sounded as though a woman was in danger or being assaulted. Police looked through a window and could see Dizarli had a knife.

Officers kicked in the door and ran inside after Dizarli refused to open the door. Dizarli’s wife, Sule Ural was in the living room, screaming and crying. Dizarli was in the kitchen holding his daughter in his left hand with her facing him and holding a butcher’s knife to her neck.

Officer Stubbs yelled at Dizarli to put the knife down, and Dizarli would lower the knife to his side, but would raise it again and put it against the child’s neck, police said. Eventually, Dizarli put the knife on the table, and Officer Meyers told Dizarli that if he went for the knife, he would shoot him. Officer Stubbs continued to speak to Dizarli, and the father handed over the child. Dizarli then tried to get away, but police took him into custody.
