58. After failing to get felony indictment, feds charge DC sandwich thrower with a misdemeanor

Piro loses again. This lady cannot indict a ham sandwich for a felony and so is going for a misdemeanor (where she does not have to go to a grand jury)

Federal prosecutors have charged the man accused of throwing a sandwich at a Customs and Border Patrol agent in Washington, D.C., earlier this month with a misdemeanor after a grand jury refused to indict him on a more serious felony assault charge on Wednesday, according to court records filed Thursday.

Sean Dunn has now been charged through a criminal information, which did not require sign-off by a D.C. grand jury.

Prosecutors failed to convince a grand jury to charge Dunn with a felony, sources familiar with the matter confirmed to ABC News on Wednesday......

The incident came amid heightened tensions over federal law enforcement presence in the District after President Donald Trump deployed federal law enforcement agents and National Guard troops to Washington declaring a public safety emergency and putting the Metropolitan Police Department under partial federal oversight.

Dunn's attorney and the D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from ABC News.
