"So there, stick your subway sandwich somewhere else."
"It's so rare for a grand jury not to return an indictment that there's an old saying that prosecutors could convince a grand jury to "indict a ham sandwich.""
"Why are you here? I don't want you in my city!"
Sean Charles Dunn hurled a sandwich at a federal agent patrolling Washington, D.C., pointed a finger at the agent and called him a "fascist." Prosecutors sought a felony assault indictment but a grand jury declined to return the felony charge. Dunn was charged with misdemeanor simple assault, which carries up to one year in jail, rather than the felony that could carry up to eight years. The White House and Washington's top federal prosecutor publicized the initial felony charge in social media videos. The incident occurred after a federal surge ordered for Washington following Trump's Aug. 11 directive, and several recent grand juries in the city have declined indictments amid resident frustration with the enforcement operation.
