DC Metro Police Officer Allegedly Warned Proud Boys Leader of Impending Arrest

A Washington, DC, metro police officer, Lt. Shane Lamond, has been indicted on charges of obstruction and false statements for allegedly tipping off Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio about his impending arrest and sharing sensitive law enforcement information with him. Lamond was in regular contact with Tarrio, starting at least in July 2019. Lamond was placed on administrative leave by the MPD in February 2022, and the department will complete an internal investigation into the incident once the criminal proceedings surrounding Lamond have concluded. Tarrio was convicted of seditious conspiracy earlier this month.
