by WorldTribune Staff, January 29, 2026 Real World NewsA Minnesota man has been arrested for allegedly posing as an FBI agent and saying he had a court order from a judge to release Luigi Mangione from a Brooklyn, New York jail, according to a criminal complaint.
The man, 36-year-old Mark Anderson of Mankato, when asked by Bureau of Prisons personnel at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn for his credentials, produced a Minnesota driver’s license, prosecutors said.
“Anderson also displayed and threw at the BOP officers numerous documents,” an FBI agent who signed the complaint wrote.
His arrest came hours after state prosecutors in Manhattan Supreme Court urged a judge there to set Mangione’s murder trial for July.
Mangione was arrested at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, five days after the slaying.
