A former New York City police union president who’s clashed with city officials over his insulting tweets and combative behavior is expected to surrender Wednesday to face criminal charges connected to a raid last year on his home and union office, two law enforcement officials said.
Ed Mullins resigned in October as head of the Sergeants Benevolent Association after the FBI searched the union’s Manhattan office and his Long Island home. He retired from the NYPD in November, a month after he was placed on modified duty and forced to give up his gun and badge because of the raids.
Information on charges against Mullins was not immediately available. He is expected to be in federal court later on Wednesday. The officials confirming his arrest were not authorized to speak publicly about an investigation and did so on condition of anonymity.
