A 22-year veteran D.C. police officer has been suspended from his post and is currently under investigation by his department, the FBI, and the Department of Justice for reportedly working with a leader of the Proud Boys to defuse  potentially violent confrontation with left-wing groups like Antifa, according to a report.

Shane Lamond, a lieutenant in the intelligence branch and father of three, “has been put on leave amid an investigation into alleged improper contacts with a prominent member of the extremist group Proud Boys,” reported The Washington Post.

Few details have been disclosed by authorities, though officers anonymously told the Post that Lamond potentially had “communications” with Proud Boys leader Henry “Enrique” Tarrio.

Notably, Tarrio told the Post he was in contact with Lamond in a professional capacity to let the officer know where his group would be protesting. The officer would let Tarrio know the location of “counter protesters,” seemingly Antifa, in an effort to “avoid conflict.” The Post reported:

Tarrio, reached by phone, described his contacts with Lamond as professional. He said he provided Lamond or other police officials advance notice when the Proud Boys planned to rally or march in the District.

But Tarrio also said that during marches, Lamond would tell him the location of counterdemonstrators. Tarrio said that was so his group could avoid conflict, though after one violent night of demonstrations, police accused the Proud Boys of roaming the city looking for and instigating fights, targeting people they believed identified as antifa, or antifascists.
