WASHINGTON—Sean Dunn was acquitted of misdemeanor assault charges on Nov. 6, after he threw a Subway sandwich at a Customs and Border Patrol officer this summer.

The Aug. 10 incident occurred during President Donald Trump’s law enforcement surge in the District of Columbia after he federalized the city’s police force. The agent struck by the sandwich was part of a cohort of 10 officers from the FBI, Metropolitan Police, and CBP, who were in the city to deter crime.
