‘QAnon Shaman,’ Capitol rioter who wore horns, pleads guilty

The man who became known as the “QAnon Shaman” pleaded guilty to a federal charge on Friday in connection with his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Jacob Anthony Chansley, 34, admitted to a single charge of felony obstruction of an official proceeding.

U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth set Chansley’s sentencing for Nov. 17. The Phoenix resident has been jailed for nearly eight months since his arrest.

Chansley was one of the most high-profile people who stormed the Capitol. Images of him wearing face paint and a furry horned and feathered hat while baring his tattooed chest were widely circulated.
