PHOENIX - A judge in Phoenix has denied bail for an Arizona man known as the so-called 'QAnon Shaman," meaning he will remain in custody.
An indictment unsealed on Jan. 12 in Washington D.C. charges 33-year-old Jake Chansley, who is also known as Jake Angeli, with civil disorder, obstruction of an official proceeding, disorderly conduct in a restricted building, and demonstrating in a Capitol building. It is unclear whether the charges are felonies or misdemeanors.
Chansley was previously charged with two misdemeanors stemming from the deadly riot — entering a restricted building without lawful authority and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
Chansley was arrested on Jan. 9.
According to court paperwork, on Jan. 7, "Chansley called in to the Washington Field Office of the FBI to voluntarily speak with law enforcement.. an FBI agent spoke on the phone with Chansley, who confirmed that he was the male in the face paint and headdress in the Vice President's chair in the Senate. Chansley stated that he came as a part of a group effort, with other 'patriots' from Arizona, at the request of the President that all 'patriots' come to D.C. on Jan. 6, 2021."
According to court documents, Chansley left a note for Vice President Mike Pence after he stormed the capitol with a six-foot spear during the deadly riot. The note read "its only a matter of time - justice is coming."
The government argues the note is worded in a threatening manner.
Chansley’s court-appointed attorney has told a judge during a previous court proceeding that his client had not eaten anything for several days since he’s been in custody because he has a very restrictive diet.
Chansley’s mother attended the court hearing, and expressed her concern saying he can only eat organic food or he gets very ill.
As of Jan. 12, the court says Chansley has not been granted a special diet while in custody. "The Court directed that the defense attorney contact the United States Marshal about the dietary issue to try to resolve it," documents read.
Adding, "The Court did not order any specific diet for Mr. Chansley. The Court trusts that the United States Marshal and Mr. Chansley’s attorney have already or will communicate about the appropriate course of action regarding any legitimate dietary needs Mr. Chansley may have."
