CINCINNATI (WXIX/Gray News) – A man is in custody after he allegedly vandalized Vice President JD Vance’s home early Monday morning in Ohio.
William DeFoor, 26, is being charged with one count each of obstructing official business, criminal damaging or endangering, criminal trespass and vandalism, court records show.
The U.S. Secret Service called police at 12:15 a.m. after seeing someone “running eastbound,” a Cincinnati police dispatcher told WXIX.
According to an arrest report, DeFoor was seen by a U.S. Secret Service agent walking onto Vance’s property and “damaging four of the victim’s residential windows and the victim’s vehicle.”
He was detained by Secret Service agents shortly after.
“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 U.S. Secret Service said in a statement.
Vance and his family are out of town and were not in the home when the incident occurred, according to the U.S. Secret Service.
