An FBI agent testified that a Washington, DC, Metropolitan Police Department officer told the leader of the Proud Boys that he might be arrested in the days before January 6, 2021.
Agent Peter Dubrowski told a jury in the seditious conspiracy trial against five members of the far-right group about Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio’s relationship with Metropolitan Police Lt. Shane Lamond, whom Tarrio spoke with several times before the US Capitol riot. Their relationship, Dubrowski testified, went beyond what was appropriate for a law enforcement agent talking to a source.
Prosecutors said Lamond messaged Tarrio in late December 2020 saying that investigators “had me ID you from a photo” and that “they may be submitting an arrest warrant to the US attorney’s office.” On the day of Tarrio’s arrest, Lamond sent him a self-deleting message Tarrio message. The Proud Boys leader messaged other leaders of the group soon after saying that an arrest warrant had been signed.
