A retired police officer in Washington, D.C., was found guilty by US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson of obstructing justice and making false statements. The former Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Shane Lamond was convicted on all four counts after a trial without a jury. Sentencing is scheduled for April 3.
Lamond was charged with leaking confidential information to then-Proud Boys national chairman Enrique Tarrio, who was under investigation for burning a Black Lives Matter banner. Despite Lamond's denial of providing sensitive police information to Tarrio, the judge found evidence indicating otherwise.
