DOJ Trial Attorney Fired After Throwing Subway Sandwich at Federal Agent in D.C.

Washington, D.C. — A 37-year-old Department of Justice (DOJ) trial attorney, Sean Charles Dunn, was terminated from his position and charged with assault after allegedly throwing a Subway sandwich at a federal agent earlier this week, authorities confirmed Thursday.

The incident, which took place on Monday in the nation’s capital, reportedly stemmed from a heated altercation, culminating in Dunn hurling a sandwich at a federal agent. Sources indicate the agent was unharmed, but the unusual act prompted swift legal and professional consequences for Dunn, who had been employed as a trial attorney with the DOJ.

The DOJ acted promptly, terminating Dunn’s employment effective immediately. In a statement, the department noted that Dunn’s actions were “inconsistent with the DOJ’s standards of conduct” and reaffirmed its commitment to upholding professionalism among its staff.

Dunn now faces charges of assault on a federal officer, a serious offense that could result in fines, jail time, or other penalties, depending on the outcome of the legal proceedings. Court documents offer limited details about the circumstances leading to the sandwich-throwing incident, and authorities have not disclosed the nature of the interaction between Dunn and the agent.
