Stolen Vehicle & Credit Cards and Drug Found on Person Who Decided To Rest on N. Dansville Home Driveway

 

NORTH DANSVILLE- Sheriff Thomas J. Dougherty reports the arrest of an Allegany County resident  on felony charges after an investigation into a stolen vehicle.  

On January 25, 2021 at approximately 11:40 am Sheriff’s Deputies and the Dansville Police  Department were dispatched to an address on McWhorter Road in the Town of North Dansville for  the report of a suspicious vehicle. The caller reported that a vehicle was in the driveway of the  location, and that an unknown male was inside of it.  

Sheriff’s Deputies and Dansville Police Officers arrived on scene and located the vehicle. The  operator of the vehicle was identified as 29 year old Tyler J. Fisk of Belmont NY. A records check of  the vehicle showed it was stolen out of the City of Rochester. 

The on scene investigation revealed that Fisk stole the vehicle from the City of Rochester and after  becoming tired during the return trip, parked the vehicle in the driveway of the residence. Further  investigation revealed credit cards stolen from the Town of Amity NY highway department were inside  the vehicle. In addition Deputies located baggies of suspected heroin, fentanyl, cocaine and a  hypodermic instrument.  

A records check also revealed that Fisk’s driver’s license had been suspended a total of nine (9)  times.  

Sheriff’s Deputies arrested and charged Fisk with felony Criminal Possession of Stolen Property in  the 3rd Degree, three (3) counts of felony Criminal Possession of Stolen Property in the 4th Degree,  three (3) counts of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the 7th Degree, Criminally  Possessing a Hypodermic Instrument, and Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle in  the 2nd Degree.  

Fisk was turned over to Central Booking Deputies at the Livingston County Jail for processing and  pre-arraignment detention. The offenses did qualify for pre-arraignment detention under the NYS  Justice Reform Act; however, a Judge may not set bail under the law and the individual must be  released. 

Fisk was later arraigned at the Livingston County Centralized Arraignment Part (LCCAP) at the  Livingston County Jail before Village of Dansville Justice Scott Kenney. The Judge did release Fisk  on his own recognizance (ROR) per the law providing Fisk a future court date and Deputies did then  release Fisk from custody on the felony charges.  

The incident was investigated by members of the Sheriff’s Office Patrol Division, Criminal  Investigations Division, and Forensic Identification Unit under the command leadership of Sheriff’s  Investigator Josh Monster.  

Assisting was the Dansville Police Department and the New York State Police.
