Police cuff third suspect
in M’Park home invasion
BY COLIN MIXSON
A former local cop will spend six
months in prison for illegally transferring
the deed of a dead woman’s home
to herself, a judge ruled on Nov. 14.
A jury earlier this year convicted
disgraced police offi cer Blanche
O’Neal, 49, on charges including perjury
and criminal possession of a
forged instrument after she falsifi ed
the signature of the property’s rightful
heir, the nephew of its former owner
Lillian Hudson, in 2012 while transferring
the deed to the home at 23A Vernon
Ave. between Nostrand and Marcy
avenues to herself.
O’Neal, who lives in Bedford-
Stuyvesant and formerly worked in
Bushwick’s 83rd Precinct, falsely
claimed she bought the property for
$10,000 from the nephew, whose aunt
died in 1993, and whose signature she
forged on documents she later fi led
IN CUSTODY: Tyrique Rushing. NYPD
with the city’s Department of Finance.
And two years after she transferred
the deed, the crooked cop in 2014 told a
grand jury that she owned the building
while testifying following a burglary
there, according to District Attorney
Eric Gonzalez, who said the nephew
discovered the deed in O’Neal’s name
that year after a would-be buyer approached
him about purchasing the
property.
“I will continue to protect Brooklyn
homeowners whose valuable properties
may be targeted by scam artists,”
the top prosecutor said following
O’Neal’s sentencing last week. “I urge
property owners to register their
homes with the Automated City Register
Information System so that they
are automatically informed of changes
made to documents associated with
their property, such as occurred in
this case.”

Police arrested the third person suspected
of violently invading a Marine
Park home in October .
Out-of-state cops in Missouri on
Nov. 16 apprehended 20-year-old Tyrique
Rushing — whom local offi cials
circulated a photo of days after he and
two others allegedly attacked an elderly
man and his wife during the Oct.
8 break-in — and handed him over to
New York’s Finest, who arrested him
later that day after cuffi ng his suspected
male and female accomplices
on Oct. 9.
Police suspect the trio slashed the
face of the 72-year-old husband — a
retired cop — with a boxcutter and
socked him in the head, and sexually
assaulted his 71-year-old wife, after illegally
entering their Madison Place
home near Avenue R.
The three then tied the wife up before
driving off in the couple’s car, according
to offi cials, who caught up
with Rushing’s suspected accomplices,
20-year-old Lance Jurinen and 25-yearold
Shirnel Sobers, as they attempted
to drive the stolen wheels through the
Battery Tunnel into Manhattan hours
after the incident.
Cops charged Rushing with crimes
including attempted murder, robbery,
assault, burglary, sex abuse, unlawful
imprisonment, and stealing a car, and
previously slapped Jurinen and Sobers
with charges including attempted
murder, assault, burglary, grand larceny,
and criminal possession of a
weapon, police said.
The October break-in at the victims’
home followed a July 24 burglary
there, when another criminal ran off
with the retired Police Department
lieutenant’s gun, according to authorities,
who said they never caught that
person.
