The Government Sent '20 Police Officers' With Riot Gear To Rearrest D.C. Sandwich Thrower, Says Attorney

By now there's a strong chance you've heard about a man in Washington, D.C., who stands accused of what is, at the moment, arguably the most highly-publicized crime in the city.

On Sunday, Sean Dunn—who, at the time, was an employee for the Justice Department—threw a Subway sandwich at a cop and was subsequently charged with felony assault of a federal law enforcement officer. His arrest comes as 500 federal agents and 800 National Guard troops have been deployed to the district after President Donald Trump took federal control of D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD).

But the sandwich story—which already feels like it could've played out on Veep—took another turn Wednesday when the federal government sent "20 police officers to [Dunn's] home" to rearrest him on a federal warrant, according to his attorney Sabrina Shroff. A video released by the White House corroborates that account, with the clip showing a large federal law enforcement presence, complete with riot gear, arriving at Dunn's apartment complex and leading him out in handcuffs.
