Ex-D.C. police officer convicted of lying about leaks to far-right Proud Boys leader

A retired Washington, D.C., police officer was convicted Monday of lying to authorities about leaking confidential information to the leader of the far-right Proud Boys.

U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson convicted former Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Shane Lamond, who used to supervise the intelligence branch of the police department's Homeland Security Bureau, of obstructing justice and making false statements after a trial without a jury.

Sentencing was scheduled for April 3 after Lamond was convicted on all four counts. He was charged with leaking information to then-Proud Boys national chairman Enrique Tarrio, who was under investigation in the burning of a Black Lives Matter banner.
