Ed Mullins Sued By NYPD Sergeants Union For $1M

NEW YORK CITY ? Ed Mullins' legal woes could put him on the hook for $1 million he's accused of stealing from an NYPD union.

The union that Mullins headed for two decades ? the Sergeants Benevolent Association ? filed a summons Wednesday that seeks a seven-figure judgement against the embattled now-former union leader.

"The nature of this action is for conversion, fraud, unjust enrichment and breach of fiduciary duty related to defendant?s fraudulent scheme to steal and misappropriate union funds from the membership of the Sergeants Benevolent Association," the summons states. "The relief sought is a monetary judgment against the defendant in the amount of ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000), plus any and all other relief this court deems just and proper."

Mullins' arrest in February capped months of speculation over what prompted FBI agents to raid Mullins' home in Port Washington and Manhattan office.

The answer came in a federal wire fraud charge and a 14-page criminal information document that stated Mullins used union funds to pay for hundreds of high-end meals, clothing, jewelry, home appliances and even a relative's college tuition.

The tally that investigators accused Mullins of pilfering: roughly $1 million.

Anthony G. Piscionere, the attorney who filed the summons for the union, didn't return calls for comment, nor did SBA officials.
