Sandwich Guy not guilty of assault after hurling Subway at federal agent
Sean Dunn, the man who has become known as "Sandwich Guy," has been found not guilty of the federal charges against him.
Previously, a Washington, D.C. grand jury refused to indict Dunn on a felony assault count. His was one of several cases where U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office has failed to secure an indictment.
Dunn was later charged with misdemeanor charges of assaulting, resisting, opposing, impeding, intimidating and interfering with a federal officer. The charges are remarkably similar to some of the charges issued for Jan. 6 attackers who beat police officers.
Dunn was accused of throwing a Subway sandwich as a Border Patrol agent in a heated exchange in Washington, D.C. The agent testified that he got mustard and onions on his uniform. He admitted the throw, but denied it amounted to assault.
The agent then complained that the incident made him smell bad.
He was found not guilty by a jury after just a day of deliberations.
Dunn was arrested after his sandwich incident, but was ultimately released from custody. The Justice Department then had "a team of armed federal agents in riot gear raid his home," PBS News reported.
Dunn's lawyers said that the footage was a highly produced “propaganda” video of the raid, so they could broadcast it on the White House social media.
The D.C. lawyer previously worked at the Justice Department, where he served as an international affairs specialist in the criminal division.
Attorney General Pam Bondi announced he was being fired after the sandwich incident, and called him “an example of the Deep State.”
