The accused rioter, Capitol, called the QAnon Shaman, wears a new look – sans horns – in this newly released mugshot.
The infamous shaman, whose real name is Jacob Chansley, is virtually unrecognizable without the hairy headdress, horns and face paint on the prison photo taken by officials in Alexandria, Va.
According to Law and Crime, which published the photo, it’s hard to get from federal inmates.
In 2016, the Sixth Court of Appeal ruled that suspects can confirm privacy interests by discussing photos. The majority of the judges in that case ruled that mugshots ‘transfer debt’ and ‘haunt the depicted individual for decades’, the outlet reports.
However, as in the case of Chansley, federal inmates are sometimes housed by state or local law enforcement agencies, who may release the images based on the underlying legislation.
Chansley was transferred to a Virginia jail on Thursday after a federal judge ordered authorities to provide him with organic food while in custody.
He was transferred to the Alexandria Detention Center after his lawyer argued that his client had gone nine days without eating because organic food was not served in the DC prison.
A judge has ordered corrective officials to offer the special diet, which, according to attorney Albert Watkins, is part of his ‘shamanistic belief system and way of life’.
Chansley has lost 20 pounds since being transferred from Arizona to Washington last week, Watkins told the judge.
U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth said Thursday the U.S. Marshals service told the court that the Columbia District Department of Corrections had asked Chansley to be moved because they did not order the court to give him organic food. , can not comply.
Chansley was charged with civil disorder, obstruction, disorderly conduct and other charges for his role in the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol.
He was among a group of hundreds of Trump supporters who complained to police and stormed the building when Congress convened to vote to confirm Joe Biden’s election victory.
