Judge Denies Bid by ‘QAnon Shaman’ to Be Released From Jail Pending Trial

A Phoenix man who entered the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 breach wearing a hat with horns, face paint, and no shirt, lost his third attempt to be released from jail.

A judge ruled Tuesday that Jacob Chansley, who is sometimes described as the “QAnon shaman,” shouldn’t be released because his attorneys have not provided any new information that would assure authorities he wouldn’t flee.

Chansley’s attorney, Albert Watkins, argued the judge’s original decision  was “erroneous,” lacked evidence, and was based on “inaccuracies.” The lawyer also argued that Chansley should be released because the flagpole that he was carrying on Jan. 6 wasn’t a “dangerous weapon,” which is what the court previously read.

Watkins also claimed in court that Chansley was a peaceful protester and not the leader of a riot. Chansley’s lawyer further argued that his client has relatives other than his mother who had lived in Phoenix for years.

But Judge Royce Lamberth for the United States District Court in the District of Columbia said family ties don’t alleviate concerns about him being a potential flight risk.

“As Chansley’s family connections have not prevented him from traveling undetected in the past, the court is unpersuaded that they will prevent him from doing so again in the future,” Lamberth wrote.

Watkins also noted that other individuals who entered the Capitol on Jan. 6, including one who allegedly assaulted an officer and another who was allegedly seen sitting in then-Vice President Mike Pence’s seat in the Senate, were released from jail pending trial.

Lamberth earlier this year ordered Chansley to undergo a psychological evaluation after his mental health was called into question.

However, remaining in jail until trial, Watkins argued, is detrimental to Chansley’s mental health.
