Aug. 27 A federal grand jury declined to indict a fired Department of Justice paralegal accused of throwing a salami sub at a federal officer deployed in Washington, D.C.
Prosecutors sought to charge Sean Charles Dunn, 37, with felony assault of a Customs and Border Protection officer on Aug. 10. The New York Times reported Tuesday that prosecutors couldn’t persuade grand jurors to indict him in the high-profile case. CNBC also confirmed the no-bill.
The Washingtonian magazine described him as « DC’s hero. »
After the incident, Dunn was fired.
« This is an example of the Deep State we have been up against for seven months as we work to refocus DOJ », Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on X on Aug. 14. « You will NOT work in this administration while disrespecting our government and law enforcement. »
The incident occurred at the corner of 14th and U Streets Northwest, which is a nightlife spot.
As seen in a video, Dunn yelled obscenities, calling the agents « fascists » and said, « Why are you here? I don’t want you in my city.
