Mullins used member dues to pay for hundreds of personal

appliances, federal prosecutors charged. The feds said he even tapped SBA money to pay for a relative’s
college education.

As part of his plea deal, Mullins copped to a single count of wire fraud and agreed not to appeal if the
judge handed down a prison sentence of 41 months or less.

“There are not many among us who have strayed from the path of life… and Mr. Mullins took a big step
today in righting his wrongs,” Mullins’ lawyer Thomas Kenniff said outside the courthouse. Video
In a statement after the plea hearing, US Attorney Damian Williams said: “Edward Mullins promised to
look out for the thousands of hard-working NYPD Sergeants who are members of the SBA. Instead, as
admitted today in federal court, he stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from them to fund his lavish
lifestyle.”

The FBI raided Mullins’ home and union offices in October 2021. Months later, he turned himself in to the
feds and was later released on a $250,000 bond.
