A Washington DC protester has been found not guilty of misdemeanor assault after a video emerged showing him hurling a sandwich at a US border patrol agent.
Lawyers for Sean Dunn, 37, did not dispute he had thrown the sandwich on 10 August this year, but argued it was not a criminal act.
The jury's verdict comes after Customs and Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore testified that the snack "exploded all over him" and he "could smell the onions and mustard" on his uniform.
Video of the incident went viral, making Mr Dunn a symbol of opposition in Washington DC to President Donald Trump's deployment of federal agents and National Guard troops to the city.
Thursday's verdict follows a two-day trial.
