Overview
- Jurors found Sean Charles Dunn not guilty on a single misdemeanor assault count after deliberating across two days.
- The August 10 encounter in Washington’s U Street corridor was recorded on video, and bodycam captured Dunn saying he threw the sandwich to draw officers away.
- CBP Agent Gregory Lairmore testified he felt the impact and smelled onions and mustard, while the defense argued the still-wrapped sub could not cause injury and cited coworkers’ gag gifts.
- A grand jury had declined to indict on a felony, and the trial became another setback for U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s surge-related prosecutions.
- Dunn, 37, was fired from the Justice Department after the incident, a decision publicly announced by Attorney General Pam Bondi.
