A Washington, D.C., police officer was indicted with sharing information to Proud Boys leader Henry "Enrique" Tarrio prior to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

A grand jury in the U.S. District Court indicted Shane Lamond on one count of obstruction of justice and three counts of making false statements, and he is expected to be arraigned later Friday.

The U.S. Attorney's Office of D.C. said in a statement that “during an interview with federal law enforcement, Lamond made false and misleading statements regarding his communications and contacts with Tarrio.”

Police Lt. Lamond served with the D.C. police for 24 years and then was the department’s head of intelligence.

Tarrio and three other Proud Boys members were found guilty of seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6 riot at the beginning of the month.

Lamond was repeatedly mentioned throughout the trial, with prosecutors unveiling dozens of messages between the two in mid-February. The messages depict how Lamond seemingly provided Tarrio with information about investigations pertaining to the Proud Boys.

The indictment accuses Lamond of communicating with Tarrio as far back as July 2020 and cites communications about an investigation into the burning of a Black Lives Matter banner after a Trump rally in D.C. in December 2020. Tarrio pleaded guilty in the burning of the banner and received a five-month sentence for his actions and for illegally bringing two high-capacity firearm magazines into the city.

If convicted, Lamond could face up to 30 years in prison for obstruction of justice and five years in prison for each charge of making a false statement.
