Longtime DC police officer suspended over alleged contact with Proud Boys
The Independent says a lieutenant in the Washington, DC, police intelligence branch has been put on administrative leave, as federal officials investigate whether he had improper contacts with the extremist Proud Boys gang.
Washington police chief Robert J Contee II declined to name the officer during a Wednesday news conference, but said the police department, as well as the FBI and Justice Department, are looking into whether the allegations are true.
“I’m very limited in terms of what I can say, I will tell you that this is an ongoing investigation,” he said on Wednesday. “Anything that I say, any deeper than where we are right now, really has the potential to compromise this investigation.”
