A man was arrested Wednesday night after pretending too be an FBI agent and attempting to break accused UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting suspect Luigi Mangione out of jail, prosecutors said Thursday.
Mark Anderson showed up at the Metropolitan Detention Center jail claiming to have a court order to let Mangione walk free, federal prosecutors said in a criminal complaint.
After Bureau of Prisons officials asked Anderson to identify himself, he produced a minnesota driverS license and said he had weapons in his backpack, according to the complaint. He also “displayed and threw at the BOP officers numerous documents,” the complaint said.
Bureau of Prisons officials found a pizza cutter and barbecue fork in the bag,the complaint said.
Federal prosecutors in brooklyn have accused Anderson of impersonating an FBI agent.He was expected to appear before a magistrate judge in a federal court on Thursday afternoon.
Federal prosecutors included a photo of the pizza wheel and barbecue fork in the criminal complaint against Mark Anderson. While judges and defense attorneys have routinely criticized the MDC for its poor conditions, it doesn’t have a history of jailbreaks. For more than two years, the jail successfully contained Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, the Mexican drug lord who famously escaped twice from jails in Mexico, both times through tunnels dug underneath the buildings.
