ROCK HILL, SC (WBTV) - A Rock Hill man is facing charges after he became "irate" during a pre-wedding party for his daughter and threatened to stab someone, police said.

According to Rock Hill police, the 50-year-old man was attending a wedding party for his daughter on Friday night at the White Horse Restaurant on Camden Avenue. 

When the bill arrived at the table, the father of the bride reportedly became very angry when he discovered that he had to pay for the alcohol from the dinner, because he thought the groom's father was supposed to pay for the entire dinner.

That's when witnesses told officer that he got into an argument with several people in the wedding party and started throwing things. The man then pulled out a knife and said he was going to stab someone, police said.

When officers arrived at the restaurant, the man was in his truck in the parking lot.  He got out of his truck, was arrested by police and charged with disorderly conduct.
