Jury selection begins Monday in the federal trial of a D.C. man charged with throwing a Subway sandwich at a federal agent in August, during the early days of the law enforcement surge.

Jury selection is scheduled to begin Monday in the federal trial of a D.C. man charged with throwing a Subway sandwich at a federal agent in August during the early days of the law enforcement surge in the District.

Generally speaking, in a federal misdemeanor assault case, physical contact isn’t required.

Prosecutors don’t want the defense to mention to jurors that a federal grand jury determined there was not probable cause to indict Dunn on the original felony count. »
