Washington — A lieutenant with the District of Columbia's Metropolitan Police Department was arrested Thursday and accused of obstructing an investigation into the Proud Boys and leaking information to its leader, Enrique Tarrio.
Shane Lamond, 47, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Washington on one count of obstruction and three counts of lying to federal law enforcement, including about notifying Tarrio about an impending arrest warrant and sharing sensitive law enforcement information with the Proud Boys leader. Tarrio and three of his subordinates in the Proud Boys were convicted of seditious conspiracy and other felonies earlier this month their roles in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
Lamond, a 24-year-veteran of the Metropolitan Police Department, is expected to be arraigned before a federal magistrate judge in district court Thursday. If convicted, he faces up to 30 years in prison for obstruction of justice and up to five years in prison for each charge of making a false statement.
