This dad got popped.

A father is facing charges after he allegedly picked up a child at a day care center in Shelton, Connecticut, yelled at him and pinned him to the ground.

Oh, and when officers arrived, the man demanded the 5-year-old be arrested, according to NBC Connecticut.

Lance Churchill, 33, was arrested June 16 for the alleged incident, which started when a group of dads came to the Apple Tree Day Care for a Fathers Day celebration.

All the children, including Churchills son, made cards for their fathers. Churchill was looking at the card when another kid at the center playfully grabbed the card out of his hands, according to Shelton Police.

The child ran around the room while the 6-foot-4-inch, 270-pound suspect chased him. When Churchill finally caught up with the kid, he picked up the child and lifted him over his head, police said.

Then he pinned the kid to the ground and screamed at him in front of the other children, according to the New Haven Register.
