A Minnesota man was arrested and charged with impersonating an FBI agent after he tried to enter a federal jail and release suspected murderer Luigi Mangione, according to law enforcement sources.

Mark Anderson, 36, arrived at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, on Wednesday evening claiming he was an FBI agent with a court order for Mangione’s release, according to a criminal complaint filed Thursday and a law enforcement source.

When officials with the Bureau of Prisons asked the man for his credentials, according to the complaint, the man provided a Minnesota driver’s license. He also allegedly stated that he had weapons in his bag.

Anderson then allegedly threw paperwork at the BOP officers. The papers appeared to be related to legal claims against the Justice Department, according to the FBI agent who signed the complaint.

Prison officials searched Anderson’s backpack, according to the complaint, and found a barbecue-style fork and a circular steel blade.

“””A Minnesota man was arrested and charged””””

My guess is he is a Minneapolistan man.

I don’t think it’s environmental, but we should verify that. This may be genetic.

Mission Impossible would have taken at least a few other men to pull it off.

America has come to a point that a section of the people have NO moral base. They decide what is right and wrong and if we don’t agree w/them we are evil. President Lincoln said if America is ever destroyed it will be from within.

A cheap trick. Probably in both senses of the word.

No photos of this Mark Anderson to be found anywhere, so far. In the movies, when you cast no reflection or when your face can’t be photographed, some would call you a Vampire!
