Minnesota man arrested for posing as FBI agent to free Luigi Mangione from prison
Mark Anderson, 36, of Mankato, Minnesota, is accused of showing up at the Metropolitan Detention Center and telling prison staff that he was an FBI agent with paperwork signed by a judge authorizing the release of an inmate. Anderson was working at a pizzeria after arriving in New York, the source said.
Prosecutors said Anderson provided his Minnesota driver's license when asked to show credentials and told prison guards he had weapons. Guards arrested and searched Anderson and found a barbecue fork and a round pizza-cutter blade in his backpack.
