A man faces a federal assault charge for allegedly throwing a sandwich at a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agent near 14th and U streets NW Sunday night.
The agent was part of a group patrolling D.C. this week after President Donald Trump said he would fight what he called “out-of-control” crime in the District.
A bystander posted pictures on Instagram that allegedly show the incident from over the weekend, with the sandwich circled in red.
A man in a pink shirt, identified by D.C. police as 37-year-old Sean Dunn, allegedly approached a group of CBP agents and called one of them a “fascist,” a police affidavit said.
According to the affidavit, Dunn pointed a finger in an agent’s face, swore at him for several minutes, and said, “Why are you here? I don’t want you in my city!”
A Justice Department source says Sean Charles Dunn worked in the international affairs section of the criminal division at the Justice Department. He has been fired from his position after his arrest.
Police say, while being arrested, Dunn admitted to hitting the officer with the sandwich.
“I did it. I threw a sandwich,” Dunn told an officer as he was being processed, court documents say.
