The former head of the Metropolitan police intelligence unit in Washington DC has been found guilty of tipping off Enrique Tarrio – the imprisoned, one-time leader of the Proud Boys – that a warrant was out for his arrest before the January 6 Capitol attack in 2021.
Shane Lamond has been charged with tipping off Tarrio, who at the time of the Capitol attack was wanted for the burning of a Black Lives Matter banner.
Tarrio is currently serving 22 years after being convicted of seditious conspiracy in connection with the Capitol riot. Tarrio was arrested when he arrived in Washington on a flight from Miami two days before the attack.
