The 45 Honeypot: Iced Earth founder arrested by FBI for role in Capitol attack

Jon Schaffer, an Indiana musician, turned himself in to the FBI on Sunday afternoon, officials said. On Jan. 6, Schaffer was photographed inside the Capitol, wearing a hat that said "Oath Keepers Lifetime Member." Schaffer founded Iced Earth, a metal band, and music fans quickly recognized him as the FBI circulated posters with his face on them.

Schaffer, 52, was charged with six counts, including engaging in an act of physical violence. Authorities said Schaffer was among the rioters who targeted Capitol Police with bear spray.
