TL;DR Summary

A veteran police officer in Washington, Shane Lamond, has been charged with obstructing justice by leaking law enforcement information to Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the Proud Boys. Lamond allegedly told Tarrio that he would not face hate crime charges after a group of Proud Boys under his command burned a Black Lives Matter banner at a historic Black church in Washington after a pro-Trump rally in December 2020. Lamond also gave Tarrio advance notice that he would be arrested in connection with the banner-burning episode in early January 2021 as he returned to Washington for the events of Jan. 6.
