Lt. Shane Lamond, D.C. police officer, told Henry “Enrique” Tarrio that police had a warrant out for him in advance of his arrest in the burning of a Black Lives Matter flag, prosecutors say.
But messages shown in Tarrio’s trial and others cited in Friday’s indictment showed how much Lamond was sharing with Tarrio during the weeks leading up to the attack.Lamond, who was suspended with pay from the D.C. police a year ago, could not immediately be reached for comment.
Lamond’s attorney Mark E. Schamel, did not immediately respond Friday to a request for comment on the indictment. In a statement in February, Schamel said his client did nothing to aid Jan. 6 rioters and “was only communicating with these individuals because the mission required it.” He added that Lamond “was instrumental” to Tarrio’s arrest and said that “there is no legitimate law enforcement officer who is familiar with the facts of this case who would opine otherwise.
According to the indictment, beginning in July 2019 and continuing to at least January 2021, Lamond and Tarrio were in regular contact regarding the Proud Boys’ planned actions in Washington, and that Lamond began using Telegram to provide law enforcement information to Tarrio as early as at least July 2020.
