Fox News
Jacob Chansley, an Arizona man known as the “Qanon shaman” who was photographed inside the Senate dais during the Capitol riot, reached a plea deal Friday and will likely serve 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 years in prison.
He was arrested three days after the riot and originally charged with six crimes, but pleaded guilty Friday to one felony count of obstructing an official proceeding. Albert Watkins, Chanley's lawyer, requested that his client undergo a competency examination in May and told Fox News in July that he "is diagnosed with mental health vulnerabilities, including transient schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety and depression exacerbated by socio stressors."More Related News
