Jon Schaffer, founder and guitarist of the Florida power metal band Iced Earth, was part of the violent pro-Trump mob that stormed the US Capitol on January 6th. He was arrested after turning himself in to the FBI a couple weeks later. And now, CNN reports that Schaffer has pleaded guilty to crimes related to the insurrection, making him the first rioter to do so.
