A former DC police officer has been sentenced to 18 months in prison after being convicted on one count of obstructing justice and three counts of making false statements related to leaking information about Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio. The conviction stems from Lamond's lie about disclosing sensitive details about the investigation into Tarrio, who was arrested in connection with a January 6th riot at the US Capitol. Lamond had previously claimed to have been the source of leaked information about Tarrio to Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, but it was later revealed that he was actually passing on misinformation. The conviction marks a rare instance of a law enforcement officer facing prison time for obstructing justice and making false statements.
