Aug. 27 (UPI) -- A federal grand jury declined to indict a fired Department of Justice paralegal accused of throwing a salami sub at a federal officer deployed in Washington, D.C.

Prosecutors sought to charge Sean Charles Dunn, 37, with felony assault of a Customs and Border Protection officer on Aug. 10. The New York Times reported Tuesday that prosecutors couldn't persuade grand jurors to indict him in the high-profile case. CNBC also confirmed the no-bill.

The Washingtonian magazine described him as "DC's hero."

After the incident, Dunn was fired.
