A jury today acquitted Sean Dunn, the Washington, D.C., man who went viral in August for hurling a footlong Subway sandwich at a Border Patrol officer.
The jury deliberated for several hours over Wednesday and this afternoon before finding Dunn, a former Justice Department paralegal, not guilty of misdemeanor assault on a federal law enforcement officer. The verdict is another high-profile embarrassment for federal prosecutors in the District of Columbia, who have repeatedly failed to win convictions or even indictments against residents accused of obstructing or assaulting federal officers deployed as part of the Trump administration's occupation of D.C.
