A 26-year-old man is in custody following a late-night incident at the private residence of Vice President JD Vance, where authorities say windows were smashed and a vehicle was damaged early Monday morning.
The disturbance began shortly after midnight in the upscale East Walnut Hills neighborhood.
According to officials, Secret Service agents protecting the property alerted Cincinnati police around 12:15 a.m. after spotting an individual “running eastbound” away from the home.

Agents quickly located and detained the suspect, identified as William DeFoor. Upon inspecting the grounds, authorities discovered four broken windows on the residence and fresh damage to a car parked on the site.
Vice President Vance and his family were not at the residence when the vandalism occurred. Officials confirmed the family was out of town at the time, and no injuries were reported.
DeFoor remains in custody and is facing multiple charges stemming from the incident. He has been charged with vandalism, criminal trespass, criminal damaging or endangering, and one count of obstructing official business.
