Overview

  • Dunn confronted federal agents on U Street NW, shouting “F--- you, fascists!” before throwing a sub-style sandwich that struck CBP Agent Gregory Lairmore, as video captured.
  • After briefly fleeing, Dunn was arrested by Metro Transit Police and later confessed at the station, saying “I did it. I threw the sandwich.”
  • Federal prosecutors charged him with assaulting, resisting or impeding U.S. officers, a felony punishable by up to one year in prison and fines.
  • U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced the charge in a video posted to X, quipping “stick your Subway sandwich somewhere else” as she vowed to back law enforcement.
  • The felony charge is pending in U.S. District Court following President Trump’s deployment of additional federal and National Guard patrols in the capital.
