Ex-D.C. Police Officer Convicted of Leaking to Proud Boys Leader

Shane Lamond was found guilty of obstructing justice and lying about providing sensitive information to Enrique Tarrio before the January 6 Capitol attack.

Shane Lamond, a former Metropolitan Police Department intelligence supervisor, was convicted on four counts, including obstruction of justice and making false statements.
Prosecutors revealed Lamond tipped off Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio about an arrest warrant related to the burning of a Black Lives Matter banner in December 2020.
Lamond and Tarrio communicated extensively, with messages showing Lamond sympathized with the Proud Boys and shared confidential law enforcement updates.
The court rejected Lamond's defense that his contact with Tarrio was part of his professional duties, citing evidence of personal support for the group.
Lamond faces sentencing on April 3, 2025, with potential penalties including significant prison time for his actions.
