Authorities in Pennsylvania repeatedly cautioned Luigi Mangione about facing further consequences if he persisted in providing a false identity to officers, according to a police lieutenant.

Mangione appeared at the Manhattan Criminal Court for the seventh consecutive day of hearings on Thursday. These sessions aim to decide if certain evidence should be excluded from his imminent trial regarding the alleged murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Freshly unveiled body camera footage from Mangione’s arrest on December 9, 2024, features Altoona Police Lt. William Hanelly informing the suspect that he would encounter additional legal troubles if he continued to misrepresent his identity.

Ultimately, Mangione was charged with using a fake ID. Following his arrest, authorities proceeded to search his belongings.

Lt. Hanelly also testified that searching Mangione’s bag did not require a warrant, citing it as a warrant exception.

Video shown in court from Mangione’s arrest at the Altoona, Pennsylvania, McDonald’s shows one police officer saying, “We probably need a search warrant at this point.”

Another officer responded, “It doesn’t matter. He is under arrest for a crime here, so we can search,” referring to the arrest of Mangione for allegedly possessing a fake ID.

Mangione’s attorney, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, argued the backpack search was illegal and is attempting to exclude that evidence from trial.

Earlier in the week, prosecutors released several pictures depicting Mangione’s possessions, such as his ID, credit and debit cards, an alleged escape route from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati and more.

An employee at the McDonald’s restaurant reportedly recognized Mangione and told a co-worker, who alerted police.

Before Mangione was arrested by police, body camera video released earlier by prosecutors shows a police officer saying he received a call that he looked “suspicious.”

“I’m sorry,” Mangione told the police officer before looking down at his phone. Mangione identified himself as “Mark Rosario” during the interaction and handed over an ID.

According to the officer, the person who reported Mangione to authorities did so because they “thought [he] looked like someone.”

“I’m a manager at Plank Road McDonald’s out here on the boulevard,” a McDonald’s manager told a 911 dispatcher at the time. “And I have a customer here that some other customers were suspicious of, that he looks like the CEO shooter from New York.”

Mangione faces numerous state and federal charges in the alleged murder.
