A Minnesota man has been arrested after he reportedly tried to break Luigi Mangione out of jail in Brooklyn, New York Thursday.<\/p>\n
Sources tell ABC News that Mark Anderson, 36, of Minnesota has been charged with impersonating a federal agent.<\/p>\n
Anderson allegedly traveled from Minnesota to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, claiming to be an FBI agent with a court order to release Mangione. <\/p>\n
Mangione has been kept at the detention center in Brooklyn as he awaits trial for the alleged murder of Brian Thompson, the former CEO of United Healthcare. <\/p>\n
After claiming he was an FBI agent, Anderson reportedly claimed to have paperwork \u201csigned by a judge\u201d authorizing the release of a specific inmate. While the criminal complaint does not state the inmate\u2019s identity, ABC News reported that law enforcement sources said the prisoner was Mangione. <\/p>\n
When members of the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) asked to see his credentials, Anderson reportedly showed them a Minnesota driver\u2019s license and \u201cthrew at the BOP officers numerous documents.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anderson then claimed to have weapons in his bag. Investigators said Anderson\u2019s \u201cweapons\u201d bag contained a barbecue fork and a pizza cutter. <\/p>\n
Anderson was expected to be presented before a federal magistrate later Thursday.<\/p>\n
