A retired police officer in the nation’s capital has been convicted of lying to authorities about leaking confidential information to the leader of the Proud Boys extremist group.

Summary

Former Washington police lieutenant Shane Lamond was convicted of obstruction of justice and lying to authorities for leaking confidential information to Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio.

Judge Amy Berman Jackson found Lamond’s and Tarrio’s testimonies unreliable, citing evidence of Lamond providing Tarrio updates on investigations, including a warrant for his arrest before Jan. 6, 2021.

Lamond denied being a Proud Boys sympathizer, claiming he treated Tarrio as an intelligence source.

Tarrio, already sentenced to 22 years for his role in the Capitol riot, pleaded guilty to burning a stolen Black Lives Matter banner. Sentencing is set for April 3.
