Who’s Your Daddy?

Veteran homicide detective Eddie Rocks goes after the worst of the worst.

As a member of Philly's Fugitive Task Force, he chases those wanted for murder and who are on the lam.

Rocks and the squad were on the job in recent weeks when Scranton cops came looking for a suspect and his girlfriend accused of killing a pregnant woman. The duo was holed up in a boarding house in North Philly when cops surrounded the place.

"As we’re trying to get into the house, he comes out, gets in a car and takes off,” Rocks said.

Cops blocked the perp, but he rammed the getaway car through cop cars before it turned into a foot pursuit.

Not so fast.

Back up arrived by the way of Michael Rocks, Eddie’s son and prodigy, who tackled the bad guy.

What ever happened to Daddio?

Eddie Rocks hit the boarding house where he cuffed the girlfriend when his son called on his cell phone and asked, “Yo, Dad, you working today?”

“As I’m putting the cuffs on her, he says, ‘I’m putting the cuffs on him.’ “
