DOJ Fires Employee Accused of Throwing Sandwich at Federal Agent

The event happened during a surge in law-enforcement patrols in D.C. this week

A man charged with a felony for hurling a sandwich at a federal law-enforcement official in Washington, D.C., the nation's capital, has been fired from his job at the Department of Justice (DOJ), Trump-appointed Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a social media post Thursday.

A video of Sean Charles Dunn berating a group of federal agents late Sunday went viral online. Dunn was arrested on an assault charge after he threw a "sub-style" sandwich at a Customs and Border Protection agent, a court filing said.

Dunn, 37, of Washington, was an international affairs specialist in the DOJ's criminal division, according to a department official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a personnel matter.
