Ex-DC Police Officer Accused of Acting as 'Double Agent' for Proud Boys

Federal prosecutors allege Shane Lamond leaked sensitive information to Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and obstructed justice.

Shane Lamond, a former Washington, D.C., police lieutenant, is on trial for allegedly sharing confidential information with Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio.
Prosecutors claim Lamond provided Tarrio with real-time updates on police investigations, including a warning about his impending arrest in 2020.
Lamond faces charges of obstruction of justice and making false statements, with allegations he lied to investigators about his communications with Tarrio.
Defense attorneys argue that the prosecution cherry-picked evidence and misrepresented the context of Lamond’s interactions with Tarrio.
The trial, overseen by U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, may include testimony from Tarrio, who is serving a 22-year sentence for seditious conspiracy related to the January 6 Capitol attack.
