LOWVILLE, N.Y. — The New York State Police in Lowville on Sept. 16 arrested a Lewis County man for 1st degree identity theft connected to a scheme that cost a North Country winery about $13,000 in financial losses.

State Police charged 33-year-old David R. Nisley Jr., of Lowville, with the class “D” felony.

Nisley is accused of “creating numerous false reservations online, using anonymous aliases,” which generated a roughly $13,000 financial loss for Tug Hill Estate (formerly called Tug Hill Vineyards) on Mother’s Day of this year. The wine business is located at 4051 Yancey Road in the town of Lowville.

Nisley “admitted to investigators that he made the fake reservations because he was upset with his friend’s former employer and expressed remorse for his actions, stating he understood it was not a harmless prank,” according to a Sept. 20 State Police news release.

The defendant was arraigned in Lewis County CAP court and released on his own recognizance.
