DC police officer convicted for Proud Boys leaks sentenced to more than year in prison

  • On Friday, former Washington, D.C. Police lieutenant Shane Lamond was given an 18-month prison term for disclosing confidential information to Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio.
  • In December 2024, Shane Lamond was found guilty of obstructing justice and making false statements to federal investigators concerning his communications during the inquiry into Tarrio’s destruction of a Black Lives Matter banner.
  • The investigation revealed Lamond tipped off Tarrio about a warrant for his arrest related to the 2020 banner burning at a historic D.C. Church and misused his position to aid Tarrio.
  • The judge overseeing Lamond's case condemned his behavior as a serious breach of trust and noted his lack of remorse, while prosecutors had recommended a sentence of four years in prison.
  • Lamond’s sentence is shorter than prosecutors requested but longer than probation, and he must self-surrender on or after August 1, with the case highlighting risks of insider leaks in law enforcement.
