Law enforcement on Monday took a suspect into custody who is accused of “property damage” on Vice President JD Vance’s home in Ohio, according to the Secret Service.
Vance and his family were not in Ohio at the time, and both the vice president and Secret Service noted the damage involved breaking windows.
“I appreciate everyone’s well wishes about the attack at our home,” Vance said on Truth Social. “As far as I can tell, a crazy person tried to break in by hammering the windows.”
Vance said he and his family had already returned to Washington by the time of the incident. His office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from NOTUS.
Vance served as an Ohio senator prior to becoming vice president, and he has maintained his residence in the East Walnut Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati.
“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,” the Secret Service wrote in a statement to NOTUS.
“The U.S. Secret Service is coordinating with the Cincinnati Police Department and the U.S. Attorney’s Office as charging decisions are reviewed,” the statement continued.
The Cincinnati Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
