Jacob Chansley, pictured, of Phoenix, Ariz., was photograph­ed inside the Capitol shirtless, wearing a horned headdress and heavily tattooed. He has been held since his arrest shortly after the riot, and on Friday entered a guilty plea to obstructin­g an official proceeding. While in detention, Chansley was diagnosed by prison officials with transient schizophre­nia, bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety. The felony charge carries a maximum 20-year prison term and a fine of up to $250,000. Chansley, a Qanon believer, will be sentenced Nov. 17.
