DC man seen throwing sandwich at agent charged with misdemeanor after grand jury declines indictment
Sean Charles Dunn, a former Justice Department employee, faces misdemeanor assault charges after a grand jury declined a felony indictment for throwing a sandwich at a federal agent, prosecutors said.
- On August 10, Sean Dunn, a former employee of the Justice Department, was arrested in the U Street area of Washington D.C. after throwing a footlong sandwich at a federal immigration officer.
- Prosecutors initially sought a felony assault charge requiring a grand jury indictment, but a grand jury declined to indict Dunn earlier this week.
- Following the indictment failure, Dunn was charged with misdemeanor assault for “assaulting, resisting or impeding” a federal officer, carrying a penalty of up to one year in jail.
- Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed that Dunn was quickly dismissed and emphasized that anyone who shows disrespect toward the government and law enforcement will not be employed in this administration.
- The case highlights backlash against President Trump’s federal law enforcement surge in D.C., with some residents viewing Dunn as a symbol of resistance to the increased federal presence.
