A man is facing criminal charges for allegedly trying to break accused killer Luigi Mangione out of a New York jail on Wednesday.

Mark Anderson, 35, of Mankato, Minnesota, reportedly identified himself as an FBI agent at Metropolis Detention Center's intake area, telling officers that he had paperwork signed by a judge which ordered Mangione's release.

Anderson, who claimed to have weapons in his possession, presented a Minnesota driver's license after being asked to present his credentials.

Jail employees who checked Anderson's backpack reportedly found a barbecue fork and a round steel blade resembling a pizza cutter.

An FBI agent wrote in an affidavit, A law enforcement source says that Anderson was in New York for a job prospect, which did not work out.

The source also said Anderson had been working at a pizzeria.

At his first court appearance yesterday, Anderson appeared unconcerned about the charges against him, flashing spectators a peace sign on his way into the courtroom.

Anderson's lawyer argued he's mentally ill and should be released to a hospital, but the judge ordered Anderson be held without bail, meaning he'll soon be joining Mangione at the very complex he tried to break him out of.

Judge Taryn Merkel called Anderson a flight risk, citing several arrests in the Bronx in recent months involving carrying illegal weapons.

Anderson pled not guilty to charges of impersonating an FBI agent.

More crime and justice news after this.

Newly released court documents provide details about a fatal shooting earlier this month involving underage patrons to a popular University of Kansas bar.

Aiden Sullivan Knowles, 18, was killed in the shooting at the Jayhawk Cafe, also known as The Hawk, and 16-year-old Brady Clark was critically injured.

Two 18-year-olds, Kaden Clem and Datron Daniel Strickland, have been charged in the January 17 shooting.

Noel's father says that his son was in the wrong place at the wrong time and was not a student at the university.

It's not clear if Clem or Daniel Strickland are students.

According to an affidavit, the victims and the suspects were part of two groups of people who met up at the bar that night and reportedly got along with no issues.

Two witnesses who had been with Clark and Knowles told police they left at one point during the night and walked to a nearby bar.

When they returned, however, they were denied entry back into the hock.

As they were getting into their car to leave, they said they saw Clark Knowles, the other person in their initial group, and some others fighting the bar staff, so they got out to help.
