Vice President JD Vance’s Windows Smashed as Man Taken Into Custody, Secret Service Confirms

A man has been taken into custody on Monday, January 5, after an alleged break-in at the home of Vice President JD Vance, the Secret Service confirmed to numerous publications.

According to the Associated Press, an unnamed man was detained shortly after midnight on Monday by Secret Service agents at the 41-year-old’s home in the East Walnut Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio.

“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,” assistant special agent in charge Matthew Young said in a statement to People.

Local news outlet WLWT captured video footage showing four windows of Vance’s home that appear to have major cracks in them.

The news station reported that Vance, wife Usha Vance and their three children — Ewan, 8, Vivek, 5, and Mirabel, 4 — were not home at the time of the incident.

Per the AP, Secret Service agents heard a loud noise at the home around midnight, and a person was found with a hammer.

The Cincinnati Police Department and the U.S. Attorney’s Office are coordinating with the Secret Service in regards to charging the man.

It seems that the politician spent the New Year’s holiday in Cincinnati because local roads were closed from December 29 through January 4, according to People.
