In a stunning display of misguided bravado, Sean Charles Dunn, a 37-year-old Washington, D.C., resident, made headlines after taking aim at a federal officer with an unexpected weapon: a Subway sandwich. Caught on video, Dunn approached a federal agent deployed by the Trump administration, shouting obscenities in what can only be described as a reckless stunt.
The footage shows a back-and-forth exchange between Dunn and the officer, culminating in him hurling the sandwich, which struck the officer squarely in the chest. This absurd act did not go unnoticed, as police swiftly pursued Dunn, bringing him into custody shortly thereafter.
According to the criminal complaint, Dunn didn’t attempt to downplay his actions. He plainly admitted his guilt, telling authorities, “I did it. I threw the sandwich.” His bravado might have seemed humorous at the time, but U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro wasted no time in addressing the seriousness of his actions. “He thought it was funny. Well, he doesn’t think it’s funny today because we charged him with a felony: Assault on a police officer,” Pirro stated, emphasizing the consequences that come with such erratic behavior.
Charged with felony assault, Dunn’s actions highlight a concerning trend of disrespect toward law enforcement. Pirro reinforced that “when you assault a law enforcement officer, you will face prosecution.” Her commitment to supporting law enforcement is evident. “Stick your Subway sandwich somewhere else!” she concluded, marking a firm stance against those who treat law enforcement with disdain.
This incident serves as a stark reminder that actions have consequences, and it appears that Dunn’s misguided attempt at humor may land him a considerable amount of time behind bars. The incident underscores the importance of respecting those who serve in the line of duty, regardless of personal beliefs or frustrations.
