Ex-DC Cop Shane Lamond Convicted of Working as Proud Boys ‘Double Agent’ for Jan. 6 Capitol Riot
An ex-Washington, DC, cop was convicted Monday of trying to cover up leaking confidential information to ex-Proud Boys leader Henry “Enrique” Tarrio ahead of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot in 2021.
Federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson found former Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Shane Lamond guilty of all four counts of obstructing justice and making false statements after a seven-day bench trial.
Lamond, 48, of Colonial Beach, Va., is slated to be sentenced April 3 and faces up to 45 years behind bars, though he is likely to get a far lighter penalty under federal sentencing guidelines, which would take into account the fact that he has no prior arrests.
The feds said Lamond worked as a “double agent,” feeding then-Proud Boys national Chairman Tarrio a tip about the fact law enforcement had a warrant for his arrest for allegedly previously burning a Black Lives Matter banner. He also allegedly gave Tarrio “real-time updates” about the probe.
Lamond testified in his own defense, claiming he never gave Tarrio — whom he met in 2019 — confidential information about the investigation. (Read more from “Ex-DC Cop Shane Lamond Convicted of Working as Proud Boys ‘Double Agent’ for Jan. 6 Capitol Riot” HERE)
