Three pro-Trump protesters featured in photos taken around the world after their violent break-in on Capitol Hill have been arrested and charged, the US Department of Justice announced Saturday. Among them is Jake Angeli become the image of the attack on the Capitol, reports AFP, cited by Agerpres.
Jacob Anthony Chansley, aka Jake Angeli, the bare-breasted conspirator who wore a helmet with bison horns in the assault on the Capitol on Wednesday, was arrested and charged with unlawful trespassing and violent behavior at the headquarters of the United States Congress.
„This individual was armed with a six-foot-long spear, with an American flag attached just below the blade, “said a statement from the Justice Department.
Originally from Arizona, Angeli, who calls herself the “Wolf of Yellowstone,” has already made a name for herself during pro-Trump rallies in Phoenix City in recent months, consistently sporting her famous helmet. He describes himself as a “number soldier of QAnon,” a movement led by Donald Trump, which sees Wednesday’s intrusion into Congress as a triumph.
Adam Johnson, the young man pictured while assuming the office of Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, was also arrested Friday for unlawful trespassing, violent behavior and robbery.
Derrick Evans, an elected member of the West Virginia state parliament who filmed himself breaking into Congress screaming „Derrick Evans is on Capitol Hill!“, was arrested at his home on Friday and charged Saturday with illegal trespassing and violent conduct.
