Mangione was arraigned and ordered to be held without bail during a brief court hearing in Pennsylvania. When asked if he required a public defender, he responded by asking if he could “answer that at a future date.”
The charges against Mangione include forgery, carrying a gun without a license, false identification to law enforcement authorities, and tampering with records or identification.
Later in the day, the prosecutors charged Luigi Mangione with first-degree murder in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, according to court documents posted online per New York Post.
Mangione remains in the custody of the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections as he awaits extradition to New York.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s office has confirmed the charges against him, according to ABC7 NY.
However, the details of the charges will remain sealed until Mangione makes his court appearance in New York at a later date.
