Qanon NYPD Union head arrested for defrauding union fund of $1million.
Ex-NYPD sergeants union chief Ed Mullins pleads not guilty to fraud charge
NEW YORK -- A former New York City police union president who's clashed with city officials over his insulting tweets and combative behavior was released on $250,000 bail Wednesday after pleading not guilty to a charge that he stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from his union by filing phony expense reports.

In a release, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said: "Edward Mullins, the former President of the SBA, abused his position of trust and authority to fund a lavish lifestyle that was paid for by the monthly dues of the thousands of hard-working Sergeants of the NYPD. Mullins submitted hundreds of phony expense reports to further his scheme, stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from the SBA."
A charging document said Mullins defrauded the union from 2017 to October 2021 by using his personal credit card to pay for meals at high-end restaurants and to purchase luxury personal items and then submitted false and inflated expense reports to the union seeking reimbursement. Authorities said much of the over $1 million in expenses Mullins sought reimbursement for was fraudulent claims.
Mullins, a police sergeant who was detached to full-time union work, was subject to department disciplinary proceedings for sending derogatory tweets about two city officials and for tweeting NYPD paperwork in 2020 about the arrest of then-Mayor Bill de Blasio's daughter during protests over the murder by police of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
