Border patrol officer hit by sandwich testifies defendant called agents 'fascist'
A Border Patrol officer who was hit by a sandwich thrown at him by a former Justice Department employee testified at the defendant’s trial, which starts its second day on Wednesday, saying that the man said “we were fascist.”
Greg Lairmore, a Border Patrol division chief who has been with Customs and Border Protection for 23 years, testified on Tuesday at the trial of Sean Dunn, who threw a Subway-style sandwich at him in Washington, D.C., this summer during the federal takeover of the city, CNN reported.
Dunn has been charged with misdemeanor assault for the incident, over which he was fired from the DOJ.
A grand jury declined to indict Dunn on a felony assault count related to the incident. However, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office opted to charge him instead with a misdemeanor, according to Politico.
Dunn’s attorney, Julia Gatto, told the jury on Tuesday regarding her client, “He did it. He threw the sandwich.”
