Of course he can get in trouble. By now I am sure you have watched plenty of television crime dramas and enough COPS shows on television to know that harboring a wanted criminal is a crime itself.

If you want to help dad, you can convince him to turn the person in or to inform the police of that person's whereabouts and that he or she is wanted. Alterntively, convince that person to turn themself in.
