Pizza Cutter Plot: Man Tries to Break Luigi Mangione Out of Brooklyn Jail

A bizarre jailbreak attempt at a Brooklyn federal lockup ended almost as soon as it began when a man claiming to be an FBI agent tried to free accused killer 👤Luigi Mangione — armed with nothing more than paperwork, a 🍕Pizza cutter, and a BBQ fork.

According to the New York Post, 👤Mark Anderson, 36, a Minnesota native, showed up at the Metropolitan Detention Center just before 7 p.m. Wednesday, prosecutors said, asserting he had a judge-signed order to release Mangione, who is being held without bail.

“When asked to show credentials, he pulled out a driver’s license from Minnesota and told staff he had weapons in his bag,” court records state.

Officials quickly searched Anderson’s bag and reportedly found a round steel blade resembling a 🍕Pizza cutter, along with a BBQ fork.

After tossing a stack of papers at prison staff, Anderson was immediately arrested and charged with impersonating an FBI agent, authorities said.
