March 30, 2023
The “QAnon Shaman” — known for storming the US Capitol shirtless in a horned coyote-fur headdress— was released from prison 14 months early and moved to a halfway house, his lawyer said Thursday.
Jacob Chansley, 35, who became the notorious poster boy of the Jan. 6 riots, had been sentenced to 3 1/2 years in federal prison but served only 11 months, said his attorney Albert Watkins.
He pleaded guilty to civil disorder and violent entry to the Capitol in September 2021.
