Retired DC Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Shane Lamond, seen here May 19, 2023, in Washington was convicted in December of one count of obstruction of justice and three charges of lying to investigators.
(CNN) — A former Washington, DC, police lieutenant was sentenced Friday to 18 months in prison for leaking confidential information to Enrique Tarrio about his force’s investigation into the Proud Boys leader’s burning of a Black Lives Matter flag and for misleading federal agents.
Retired DC Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Shane Lamond was convicted in December of one count of obstruction of justice and three charges of lying to investigators. Lamond had leaked confidential information to the former Proud Boys leader throughout his own department’s investigation, culminating with him tipping off Tarrio that a warrant had been issued for his arrest for burning a DC church’s Black Lives Matter banner at a rally in 2020.
US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, who oversaw Lamond’s bench trial last year, sentenced him to 18 months for the obstruction conviction and six months apiece for the three false statements convictions, to run concurrently.
Jackson was critical of Lamond’s actions, emphasizing that he knowingly abused his position as a law enforcement officer to aid the subject of the investigation his department was conducting.
