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 released Fisk on his own
recognizance.
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.
