REUTERS\/Shannon Stapleton\/Pool<\/p>\n<p>(New York, New York) \u2013 A Minnesota man has been charged after allegedly attempting to free Luigi Mangione from a federal jail in Brooklyn by posing as an FBI agent, according to law enforcement sources.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities say Mark Anderson, 36, arrived at the Metropolitan Detention Center claiming he was an agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and had a court order signed by a judge authorizing Mangione\u2019s release. When Bureau of Prisons officers requested credentials, prosecutors say Anderson presented a Minnesota driver\u2019s license and produced several documents that failed to verify his claim.<\/p>\n<p>Anderson allegedly told officers he had weapons in his bag, which authorities say contained a barbecue fork and a pizza cutter. He was charged Thursday with impersonating a federal agent and is expected to appear in court.<\/p>\n<p>Mangione remains in custody at MDC-Brooklyn as he awaits both federal and state trials in the December 2024 assassination-style killing of Brian Thompson. Mangione is scheduled to return to court Friday, where a judge may decide whether the death penalty remains on the table if he is convicted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Luigi Mangione attends an evidentiary hearing in the murder case of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, at the Manhattan&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":116727,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[75,84,83,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-116726","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116726","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116726"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116726\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116727"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116726"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116726"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116726"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
