Vance Family in DC During Attack on Ohio Residence

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 D.C. during the time of the potential break in, a Vance spokesperson told The Daily Signal. Local news shared photos of what appears to be damage to the house’s windows that occurred overnight.

“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,” Vance said Monday on X. “I’m grateful to the secret service and the Cincinnati police for responding quickly.”

Vance asked the media to cease posting photos of his Ohio home.

“One request to the media: we try to protect our kids as much as possible from the realities of this life of public service,” he said. “In that light, I am skeptical of the news value of plastering images of our home with holes in the windows.”

U.S. Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said one person has been taken into custody. He was 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.

“The U.S. Secret Service is coordinating with the Cincinnati Police Department and the U.S. Attorney’s Office as charging decisions are reviewed,” Guglielmi continued.
