A suspect nicknamed “Horn Guy” who was wanted following a violent riot at the US Capitol has been identified and arrested.
According to the Department of Justice, Jake Angeli, who was photographed last Wednesday standing shirtless inside the Senate chamber, wearing a horned hat with a painted face, was taken into custody Saturday.
It says Angeli is charged with knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
Reports say Angeli is widely known as the “QAnon Shaman”.
Wikipedia states,”QAnon is a disproven and discredited far-right conspiracy theory[2] alleging that a cabal of Satan-worshipping cannibalistic[3][4][5] pedophiles is running a global child sex-trafficking ring and plotting against US president Donald Trump.”
Police have also arrested 36-year-old Adam Johnson, who is alleged to have been photographed carrying House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s lectern from the House of Representatives chamber.
More than 80 people have reportedly been arrested in connection with the US Capitol riot so far.
