A man has been charged with assaulting a federal officer after allegedly throwing a sandwich at a US Customs and Border Protection agent in Washington, D.C.. The incident took place as President Donald Trump's administration continues a federal takeover of the city's law enforcement. The felony charge carries up to a year in prison and significant fines.
Authorities identified the man as Sean Charles Dunn, 37, an international affairs specialist in the Department of Justice, who has since been fired. In a viral video, Dunn can be seen shouting "Fascists!" and "Shame!" at officers patrolling 14th Street Northwest before allegedly winding his arm and throwing a "sub-style sandwich" at an agent. He was apprehended shortly afterward and reportedly told authorities, "I did it. I threw a sandwich."
