D.C. “sandwich thrower” found not guilty of assault

A jury has found the man who threw a sandwich at a federal agent not guilty. Sean Dunn, a former Justice Department staffer, was cleared of a misdemeanor assault charge after a three-day trial in Washington federal court. Back in August, he was captured on video hurling a sub-style sandwich at a law enforcement agent. Dunn was upset over the Trump administration’s deployment of federal agents and the National Guard to curb crime in DC. His lawyer successfully argued that the sandwich throw was a harmless gesture of frustration and not a crime.
