The former lieutenant led the Metropolitan Police Department’s police intelligence unit. He pled not guilty to charges of obstruction of justice and three counts of making false statements.
On Monday, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson handed down the verdict, stating that Lamond acted as an informant for the Proud Boys group.
“The defendant was not using Tarrio as a source; it was the other way around,” she said.
During the two-week bench trial, prosecutors said Lamond covered up his communication with Tarrio. He deleted messages and used an encrypted app.
The prosecution said conversations showed Lamond telling him there was a warrant for his arrest for burning a Black Lives Matter flag during a pro-Trump rally in 2020.
They also said Lamond pledged his support for the Proud Boys. He said he personally supported the group and didn’t want to see its reputation “dragged through the mud.” Lamond’s defense said his conversations with Tarrio didn’t breach police conduct. His lawyers argued Lamond was actually key in Tarrio’s arrest.
