"On Wednesday evening, a man named Mark Anderson arrived at the Metropolitan Detention Center, where Mangione is detained, and falsely claimed he was an FBI agent with paperwork signed by a judge that authorized the release of a specific MDC detainee, charging papers say. That detainee, according to a law enforcement source, was 27-year-old Luigi Mangione, who stands accused of gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Midtown Manhattan in late 2024."
"When asked for credentials, Anderson presented a Minnesota driver's license and then said he had weapons on him. In his backpack were a large barbecue fork and round steel blade, the likeness of a pizza cutter, according to court documents. The Minnesota man had traveled to New York City for a job opportunity that didn't pan out and has since been working at a pizzeria, the law enforcement source said."
