‘QAnon Shaman’ demanding organic food in jail after US Capitol arrest

The “QAnon shaman” arrested after taking part in the storming of the US Capitol building last week is reportedly demanding organic food in jail.

Arizona man Jake Angeli, 33, is facing federal misdemeanour charges after being photographed wearing a buffalo headdress and tricolour facepaint amid the mob of Donald Trump zealots who attacked the government building.

He is accused of knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

Mr Angeli has previously claimed he had not broken any laws, saying he only walked through already-open doors.

He had his first court appearance via phone today, where the judge directed the public defender representing him to work with the prison guards on Mr Angeli’s dietary issues.

Mr Angeli has been widely reported as a QAnon conspiracy theorist, who had previously attended Mr Trump’s rallies.

Five people died in the riots, which saw representatives of the US government evacuated and taken into hiding by security forces.

The mob attack followed a speech by Mr Trump, who had repeated his false claims that last November’s election was “stolen” after he lost to Democratic rival Joe Biden.
