Nov. 6 (UPI) -- Former Justice Department paralegal Sean Dunn is not guilty of assault for throwing a sub sandwich at a Border Patrol agent in Washington, D.C., a federal jury ruled Thursday.
The jury deliberated a misdemeanor assault charge against Dunn on Wednesday and Thursday before rendering its verdict, NBC News reported.
Dunn accosted Border Patrol agent Greg Lairimore in the capital's U Street area, swore at him called him an unwelcome "fascist" before throwing a footlong sub sandwich that struck him in the chest.
The Border Patrol agent was there as part of President Donald Trump's federal law enforcement surge to thwart crime in the nation's capital.
