July 17, 2025 RYE, NY – A New York City police officer is facing serious felony charges for allegedly stealing over $87,000 from client accounts while employed at Wells Fargo, with the thefts reportedly continuing even after he joined the NYPD. Yeison Rodriguez Acosta, 28, was arraigned Thursday morning in Rye City Court on a 30-count felony complaint.

According to the Westchester District Attorney's Office, Acosta is accused of siphoning funds to finance a lavish lifestyle that included the purchase of a BMW, a trip to Aruba, and even a fitness program dubbed "Booty by Jacks."

Prosecutors stated that the alleged embezzlement scheme began during Acosta's tenure at Wells Fargo and persisted into his service as a police officer. The specific nature of how he allegedly accessed and transferred the funds has not yet been fully detailed.

Following his arraignment, Acosta was released, but under strict conditions. He was ordered to surrender his passport and must report to the court daily until his next scheduled appearance on September 30. Additionally, a temporary order of protection has been issued on behalf of the victims.

This developing story raises significant questions about financial oversight and the conduct of public servants. More details are expected to emerge as the case proceeds through the legal system.
