Jacob Anthony Chansley - who become known in the media as the 'QAnon Shaman' - has been released from prison, his lawyers have confirmed.
Chansley, 35, hit headlines following the deadly January 6 Capitol Riots in 2021.
He was instantly recognizable due to the fact that he stormed the US Capitol building while shirtless and wearing a horned coyote-fur headdress. He was one of the many Trump supporters who attempted to thwart Congress from certifying the 2020 US presidential election.
While inside the building, Reuters reports that he also allegedly left a note for former Vice President Mike Pence reading "It's only a matter of time" and "Justice is coming!"
Per BBC News, Chansley was sentenced to 41 months in prison for his involvement in the insurrection - one of the longest sentences to come from the riots.
He was also sentenced to 36 months of supervised release and ordered to pay $100 in restitution after pleading guilty to one felony count of obstruction in an official proceeding.
Now, the New York Post has reported that Chansley has been released 14 months early.
Prison officials reportedly confirmed on Thursday (March 30) that Chansley has now been moved to a halfway house.
Bureau of Prison records state that he only served 27 months behind bars.
In response to his release, Chansley's lawyer Albert Watkins said in a statement to The Daily Mail: "It is appropriate this gentle and intelligent young man be permitted to move forward with the next stage of what undoubtedly will be a law-abiding and enriching life."
"I applaud the decision of the US Bureau of Prison in this regard," Watkins added.
During his sentencing, Chansley said that he "wrong for entering the Capitol" and that he had "no excuse" for his actions that day, adding that he wished to "evolve" and move on. While in custody, he had reportedly told the FBI that he came to Washington D.C. "at the request of the president".
However, prior to his sentencing, Chansley also claimed to have disavowed Donald Trump and QAnon (an online group that believed in a conspiracy theory that former President Trump was waging a secret war against Satan-worshipping individuals in government, business, and the media.)
There is reportedly no word at this time regarding why Chansley was awarded early release.
