After failing to get felony indictment, feds charge DC sandwich thrower with a misdemeanor

Federal prosecutors have charged the man accused of throwing a sandwich at a Customs and Border Patrol agent in Washington, D.C., earlier this month with a misdemeanor after a grand jury refused to indict him on a more serious felony assault charge on Wednesday, according to court records filed Thursday.

Sean Dunn has now been charged through a criminal information, which did not require sign-off by a D.C. grand jury.

Prosecutors failed to convince a grand jury to charge Dunn with a felony, sources familiar with the matter confirmed to ABC News on Wednesday......

The incident came amid heightened tensions over federal law enforcement presence in the District after President Donald Trump deployed federal law enforcement agents and National Guard troops to Washington declaring a public safety emergency and putting the Metropolitan Police Department under partial federal oversight.

Dunn's attorney and the D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from ABC News.

2. One step at a time

4. He's not getting his job back

Not only did he admit that he did it, it's on video as well

8. What does that have to do with anything?

3. As embarrassing as it is for a federal prosecutor to obtain an indictment - and it's really embarrassing -

failing to obtain a misdemeanor conviction would be far worse.

It's time for the prosecutor to cut his losses.

5. Double decker jeopardy I would say.

[MichMan]

6. No

The felony charge never went to trial

16. It's sandwich law. Not Trump's.

7. Judge Box O'Wine is the one bringing the charges

She couldn't get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich. How is she going to get a jury to convict him?

9. The heinous crime of throwing a sandwich at Trump's secret police.

Yet attempting to murder police gets a pardon if you are a loyal Trumpster.

12. Definitely an absurdist's dream

11. Prosecutor, come back when you can justify it.

A sammich is not a flagpole, bayonet, or gun. Get a life!

13. Insist on a jury trial!

15. "DC Sandwich Thrower." Nice moniker.

If you’ve got to have some fame following you around at job interviews, this one will help at any decent company.

17. I'm "fed" up with this. It turns my "stomach". The prosecution should "eat" its losses. It's

all a lot of "baloney" but I guess they have too much at "steak"[sic]. It's all so "cheesy". The prosecution doesn't know where they're going, much less where they've "bean"[sic]. That really "bites". They don't have a "heart", the "gutless" cowards. They're just "chicken" and should "duck" from the criticism.
