(DCNF)—U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., Jeanine Pirro on Wednesday announced her office had charged a man who allegedly threw a Subway sub at a federal law enforcement officer in the district on Monday.
A man in a pink shirt can be seen in a video jumping and shouting at an officer before hurling his sandwich at him and fleeing. Pirro said in her own X video that her office had charged the man with assault on a police officer.

“So President [Donald] Trump has vowed to make D.C. safe and beautiful again. And as part of his effort to fight crime, he’s bringing in our federal law enforcement partners … to help the Metropolitan PD fight crime,” Pirro said. “And the president’s message to the criminals was, ‘If you spit, we hit.’ Well, we didn’t quite do that the other night when an individual went up to one of the federal law enforcement officers and started jumping up and down, screaming at him, berating him, yelling at him.”
“And then he took a Subway sandwich … and took it and threw it at the officer. He thought it was funny,” she continued. “Well, he doesn’t think it’s funny today because we charged him with a felony, assault on a police officer. And we’re going to back the police to the hilt. So there, stick your Subway sandwich somewhere else.”
Trump announced on Monday that he was declaring a “public safety emergency” and deploying the National Guard to address violent crime in Washington, D.C.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the presence of nearly 850 officers led to the arrests of 23 people who committed homicide, firearm and drug offenses, along with other crimes on Monday night. The officers also seized six illegal firearms.
Although legacy media outlets have reported that crime plummeted by 35% in 2024, their figures rely on local police data that leaves out crimes such as felony and aggravated assault.
Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) solely includes homicide, sex abuse crimes, assault with a dangerous weapon and robbery in its overall “violent crime” statistics that showed a decline in 2024. Aggravated assault and felony assault without the use of weapons are also left out.
Pirro also fired back at a reporter on Tuesday who insinuated that the administration was changing its tune on crime in the district.
“It’s never enough. This changed, this changed, it’s never enough! You tell these families crime has dropped. You tell the mother of the intern who was shot going out for McDonalds near the Washington Convention Center, ‘Oh, crime is down,’” Pirro said. “You tell the kid who was just beat to hell and back with a severe concussion and a broken nose, ‘Crime is down.’ No, that falls on deaf ears. And my ears are deaf to that and that’s why I fight the fight.”
Trump’s crackdown followed a series of high-profile violent crime cases in the nation’s capital, including former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) employee Edward Coristine, also known as “Big Balls,” receiving a severe beating when he intervened in a carjacking of a woman at around 3 a.m. on Aug. 5.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
