A man was arrested early Monday (January 5) morning after an incident at the Cincinnati home of Vice President JD Vance that resulted in broken windows, Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi confirmed via the New York Post.
The suspect was detained by Secret Service agents and placed into custody by Cincinnati Police Department officers for suspicion of property damage.
“The residence was unoccupied at the time of the incident, and the Vice President and his family were not in Ohio,” Guglielmi said.
Vance, 41, was reported to have spent the past week in Cincinnati, but returned to Washington, D.C., Sunday (January 4) afternoon, according to WLWT-TV. Guglielmi confirmed that potential charges against the suspect were being reviewed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Ohio.
Vance reportedly purchased the home for $1.4 million in 2018. Last March, the vice president confronted pro-Ukraine protesters outside the home during an alleged incident while walking with his then-3-year-old daughter.
“Today while walking my 3 year old daughter a group of ‘Slava Ukraini’ protesters followed us around and shouted as my daughter grew increasingly anxious and scared,” Vance wrote on his X account at the time. “I decided to speak with the protesters in the hopes that I could trade a few minutes of conversation for them leaving my toddler alone. (Nearly all of them agreed.) It was a mostly respectful conversation, but if you’re chasing a 3-year-old as part of a political protest, you’re a s**t person.”
