Prosecutors Fail to Indict DC Sandwich Thrower

It is extremely rare for a grand jury to decline to return an indictment when a prosecutor requests one after presenting evidence of an alleged crime.

And it is even rarer in a high-profile case that the government has touted in the media, as the DOJ did after Dunn’s arrest.

The New York Times first reported that the grand jury had not issued a “true bill,” meaning an indictment of Dunn.

The sandwich spat took place as Trump has clamped down on the nation’s capital to quickly eradicate what he claims is out-of-control crime in the city.

He invoked a never-before-used legal power to temporarily take over the D.C. police department and ordered a deployment of 800 National Guard members to the city. His administration also ramped up the presence of federal agents on the streets to assist in crime prevention.

Trump’s actions are unpopular among D.C. residents, according to recent polls, and activists have confronted or heckled federal officers while they are performing law-enforcement operations in the city.

A special agent wrote in a court affidavit that Reid, in late July, had “forcefully pushed” an FBI agent’s hand against a cement wall.

Reid had started recording the agents outside of D.C.’s jail after two alleged gang members, who had been arrested by city police, were released into the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement due to their immigration status, the affidavit said.

After Reid tried to “impede the transfer” by getting between one suspect and the agents, ICE officer Vincent Laing pushed her “against the wall and told her to stop,” according to the court document.

FBI agent Eugenia Bates came to assist Laing and Reid, who was “flailing her arms and kicking,” caused “lacerations on the back side of Agent Bates’s left hand,” the affidavit said.
