Besides attempted bodily injury with a weapon and related offenses, 20-year-old Monroe Daughtrey is charged with property destruction and illegal weapons possession.

The seven-count indictment says that the youths apparently had gone to Palisades Park looking for Daughtrey.
Once the fight at Hillcrest Place and Bergen Boulevard was over, it says, Daughtrey took a baseball bat, broke a window of a car that was waiting for the youths, then hit a 15-year-old several times with the bat.
As a result, the 17-year-old female driver accidentally crashed her car head-on into another, court papers show.
The boy lost some teeth and needed facial reconstructive surgery, among other procedures, police said. The girl had to be hospitalized, as well.
After getting a reduction to $50,000 bail from $75,000, Daughtrey was bailed out five weeks after the July 9 incident last year. He has since become involved in an online business that promises huge cash returns without fully explaining how it’s done — other than to say it involves the sale of “digital download information products,” according to his Facebook page.
The company has blanketed the Internet with an avalanche of posts in the guise of “reviews” and analysis that tout the program as legitimate and not a scam.
Daughtrey, of 13th Street, has posted several photos of himself, along with promotional posts for the company, online.
The grand jury in Hackensack indicted him last week on charges of attempted bodily injury to the two teens, attempted bodily injury with a deadly weapon, causing bodily injury, two counts of illegal weapons possession and property damage of more than $2,000 to the car.
