"This year, the skeletons carry sandwiches. All around town, Halloween décor reflects DC's fascination with the case of Sean Dunn, aka "Sandwich Guy," who the feds say flung a footlong sub at a federal law enforcement officer when Trump's DC crackdown began this past August. Since then, Dunn has since become a symbol of local resistance, or if you haven't had enough sandwich puns yet, a local hero."
"The federal government is still struggling to make a case against Dunn stick. US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro slapped Dunn with a felony charge after the US sent armed agents to arrest him at home (he'd offered to turn himself in); a grand jury declined to view an airborne hoagie with the same gravity, and declined to indict him. Pirro's office knocked the charge down to a misdemeanor."
DC Halloween décor features sandwiches as a nod to the case of Sean Dunn, nicknamed 'Sandwich Guy', who allegedly threw a footlong sub at a federal law enforcement officer when a federal crackdown began in August. Many locals plan Sandwich Guy costumes. A skeleton on Capitol Hill holding a sandwich symbolizes resident opposition to a federal takeover of law enforcement. Federal prosecutors initially charged Dunn with a felony after armed agents arrested him; a grand jury declined to indict on the felony and the charge was reduced to a misdemeanor. Dunn filed a motion calling the prosecution vindictive and arguing the government is 'smuggling felony-level language into a misdemeanor charge.' His trial is scheduled the Monday after Halloween unless the motion prevails.
