A man was charged with a felony in federal court this week for throwing a sandwich at a border patrol agent in Washington, D.C., amid President Donald Trump's crackdown on crime and federal takeover of the city's law enforcement, officials said.
Sean Charles Dunn allegedly approached the federal agent, identified as Customs and Border Patrol Agent Gregory Lairmore, at about 11 p.m. on Aug. 10, as hundreds of officers from multiple agencies patrolled the city after Trump ordered an increased law enforcement presence, according to a criminal complaint reviewed by USA TODAY.
"Why are you here? I don’t want you in my city!" Dunn yelled at the officer, according to the criminal complaint. He also swore and called officers "fascists," the complaint said.
He then threw a sub-style sandwich at the officer's chest, the complaint said. Videos of the incident shared to social media show a man in a pink shirt and shorts yelling at officers, then throwing the sandwich and running away as they chase him. Photos show the incident happened in front of a Subway sandwich shop.
Dunn was charged with one count of assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers and employees of the United States, the criminal complaint said. It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney who could comment on his behalf.
