An NYPD cop got a little too greedy in a deed forging scam. Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson together with New York City Sheriff Joseph Fucito announced that an NYPD cop has been indicted. They allegedly stole a neglected three-family house in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

The Cop filed a deed transferring the property from the deceased owner’s nephew to herself in 2012. However, the scheme unraveled when the nephew was approached by an actual potential buyer last year.

District Attorney Thompson said:

“This defendant allegedly stole a house from its rightful owner with the stroke of a pen, apparently hoping no one would notice. But her brazen actions have unraveled and she will now be held accountable. That she is a veteran NYPD officer makes this alleged crime all the more disturbing.”

Sheriff Fucito added:

“The Sheriff’s Office is actively investigating real property theft and related financial crimes throughout New York City. Those who think they can simply file false documentation with the NYC Department of Finance should take notice. The Sheriff will aggressively investigate and arrest any party involved in such criminal activity.”

The District Attorney identified the NYPD cop as Blanche O’Neal, 45, of Brooklyn.

The court arraigned her today on a four-count indictment. Prosecutors charged her with second-degree grand larceny and second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument. In addition, they charged her with first-degree offering a false instrument for filing and first-degree perjury. She was released without bail and ordered to return to court on January 6, 2016. If convicted, she faces up to 15 years in prison.

Brooklyn DA Wants To Throw The Book At NYPD Cop

The DA also said that the cop executed a deed that stated that she bought the property from the nephew of the deceased homeowner.

Lillian Hudson, who died in 1993. The nephew and three other relatives inherited the property, though it sat vacant and neglected for many years.

The NYPD cop, according to the indictment, falsely indicated in her filings with the New York City Department of Finance, Office of the City Register, that she purchased the property for $10,000 from the nephew and the deed was purportedly signed by him. The Office of the City Register recorded the deed on October 11, 2012.

Furthermore, the NYPD cop is charged with perjury. In connection with a burglary involving the property, the defendant falsely testified before a grand jury on September 29, 2014, that she owned the property.

In 2014, the nephew and the other three heirs to the house sought to sell it to an entity known as 23A Vernon LLC. That is when they discovered the 2012 deed allegedly filed by the defendant.

Finally, according to the indictment, by filing the false deed in 2012, the NYPD cop transferred ownership of the property from the true owners to herself and thus stole title to the property.

NYPD Cop Blanche O’Neal made headlines in 2008 when she and her partner accused their sergeant of dropping N-bombs around them. according to the New York Daily News:

Two days later, Nelson, the commander of Patrol Borough Brooklyn North, ordered Smikle, 28, and his partner, Blanch O’Neal, 38, to his office, they told the Daily News in an interview.

“‘We have friends in IAB, and you’re full of s–t!'” Nelson screamed, according to Smikle and O’Neal. “So what, he [the sergeant] called you a n—-r? If you can’t handle it, resign!'”
