STANHOPE – A dart game got ugly Tuesday and led to the arrest off a Roxbury man for allegedly threatening a member of a rival team.

At 10:20 p.m. on Tuesday, police were dispatched to Shakey Jake’s Cafe on Route 183 after a call came in about a knife and gun fight in progress, police said.

Sgt. Ryan Hickman and Patrolman Christopher Bork arrived at the scene and found about 15 people in the parking lot but no one physically fighting at the time, police said.

The officer separated the parties and began questioning individuals and learned that the altercation had started inside the bar between two dart league teams and eventually made its way outside the bar and onto the parking lot, police said.

One man, Daniel Thompson, 37, of the Landing section of Roxbury, allegedly threatened a member of the opposing dart team with a baseball bat though no actual assault took place, police said.

Thompson was arrested, however, and charged with third-degree unlawful possession of a weapon and third-degree terroristic threats.

Thompson posted pail and was released with a court appearance scheduled for later this month.
