Man accused of hurling sandwich at CBP agent charged with misdemanor | USAEMALL.com

Sean Charles Dunn, the Justice Department worker fired after being accused of throwing a sandwich at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent earlier this month, has now been charged with a misdemeanor.

Dunn was previously charged with a felony, but a grand jury declined to hand down an indictment.

“I will continue to pursue every avenue available to hold offenders accountable. While this DC grand jury did not return a true bill consistent with the clear wording of the statute on the felony charge in this case, we will not waiver in our commitment to public safety,” U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital.

“The defendant will face prosecution on misdemeanor charges, and we will continue to seek the maximum penalties the law allows. The chaos in this district must end,” Pirro added.

A statement of facts attached to a criminal complaint filed earlier this month said that Dunn shouted at CBP Agent Gregory Lairmore and tossed a sandwich at him. 

“DUNN stood within inches of” Lairmore, “pointed his finger in” Lairmore’s “face, and yelled, ‘F[—] you! You f[—]ing fascists! Why are you here? I don’t want you in my city!'” according to the document.
