Saratoga County resident Brian Stanley, age 41, of Halfmoon, was arrested Friday, Sept. 9, for four counts of forgery and two counts of possession of a forged instrument, all felonies.

State Police began investigating in June 2022 after a Halfmoon business reported that several contracts containing forged signatures had been submitted by Stanley’s company, New York Renewable Energy, Engineering, and Recycling.

Investigators determined that the contracts containing the forged signatures were submitted by Stanley himself, police said.

He was taken into custody after surrendering to State Police in Clifton Park on an active arrest warrant.

Stanley was arraigned in the Town of Halfmoon Court and released on his own recognizance.

He’s scheduled to appear back in court on Thursday, Sept. 15.

Based in Clifton Park, NYREER provides solar installation, backup generators, and GE charging stations to homes and businesses in New York, New Jersey, Vermont, and Massachusetts, according to its website.
