The spear-wielding, shirtless man in a horned fur headdress, whose photos inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 spread widely on the internet, has not eaten since he was arrested on Jan. 8, according to his public defender and his mother.

Jacob Anthony Chansley, 33, also known as Jake Angeli, turned himself in over on Jan. 9 and made his first court appearance on Monday.
