Arizona man wanted by D.C. police after the riot at the U.S. Capitol

At the center of the unrest at the Capitol, 12 News has identified an Arizona man in the mix.

The man, with face paint and horns, is a regular at protests and rallies in the Valley. He's posted as a person of interest by Metropolitan Police in Washington, D.C. following Wednesday's breach.

The man, known as Jake Angeli or Jacob Chansley, is from Phoenix. 12 News spoke with him over the phone Thursday morning when he stated he was the horned protester at the Capitol.

He said he didn't have time to answer questions, but noted he was waiting for a ride to travel back to Phoenix. He also said he wasn't worried that he was listed as a person of interest by D.C. police.

By the time he'll get to Phoenix, they'll be waiting. He'll find a note they left hanging on his door. He'll cry when he reads the part that says they're waiting. Because he knows what's coming. Sad.

FlashOfLight:

There needs to be consequences. Ten years is the absolute bare minimum I would accept for everyone inside the Capitol. This is treason and that charge should be added to make sure he and everyone else inside the interior of the Captiol does get the minimum 10 years.
