Iced Earth’s Jon Schaffer has been transferred to federal custody on Tuesday (January 26) to be extradited to Washington, D.C.
Indiana Public Media reporter Brock E.W. Turner tweeted a few hours ago that officials with U.S. Marshals Service revealed the 52-year-old musician was under its supervision.
Brock Turner tweeted:
“US Marshals confirmed tonight Jon Ryan Schaffer (Indiana man accused in Capitol insurrection) is in their custody. I’ll share more updates when available.”
Also, the Indiana Oath Keepers stated that the guitarist is not a member of their organization:
“The individual arrested in Columbus, Indiana and was wearing an Oath Keepers (not Indiana Oath Keepers) hat in the US Capitol building on January 6th is NOT a member of Indiana Oath Keepers.
”The organization added that it “does not and has never sponsored, planned or funded any activities that involve riots, violence or unlawful actions. No IOK members were sent to Washington DC on January 6th nor did IOK leadership ask for volunteers to travel to Washington DC.”
