Man impersonated FBI agent in attempt to free Luigi Mangione from jail: Court filing
['David Zimmermann']
Washington Examiner
A Minnesota man was arrested Wednesday night for impersonating an FBI agent in a failed attempt to free Luigi Mangione from a New York City federal prison, according to a new criminal complaint.
When asked for his credentials, the man showed his Minnesota driver’s license and said he had weapons in his bag.
Bureau of Prisons officers found a barbecue fork and a “circular steel blade resembling a pizza cutter,” the Thursday court filing states.
The Department of Justice is seeking the death penalty for Mangione if he is convicted in the federal case.
The court filing did not name Mangione as the inmate that Anderson tried to free, but law enforcement reportedly confirmed it was the accused murderer.
