Jury chews over fate of 'sandwich guy,' who became a D.C. hero after chucking a sub at a federal officer

WASHINGTON — A federal jury on Wednesday began deliberating a verdict in the case against a man dubbed “ sandwich guy ” after he tossed a Subway footlong at a federal officer who was patrolling city streets on President Donald Trump's orders.

Sean Dunn, a former Justice Department paralegal, faces a single misdemeanor count after a federal grand jury refused to indict him on the felony charges sought by the Trump administration. The charge stems from an incident in August when Dunn, wearing a pink shirt, confronted officers in the nightlife area at 14th and U St. NW, eventually tossing a salami sub at a federal officer’s ballistic vest.

“This case, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is about a sandwich,” defense attorney Sabrina Shroff told members of the jury during closing arguments
