It sounds quite like the German example that I wrote. What is still
interesting about the German article usage is that they often use a
definite article in everyday speech (der or die according to the
gender) before the name of a person, e.g.
[....]
But this is possible only in very colloquial language, among friends,
family members, because it is considered uneducated or slang.

yes, this is colloquial use in certain dialect.
