Secret Service Arrests Suspect After Windows Smashed at Vice President J.D. Vance’s Cincinnati Home

Authorities say the U.S. Secret Service detained a suspect early Monday after windows were smashed at Vice President J.D. Vance’s Cincinnati residence.

Secret Service agents took an adult male into custody just after midnight on suspicion of property damage at the home. Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the arrest followed an incident on Sunday in which the suspect "caused property damage, including breaking windows on the exterior of a personal residence associated with" Vance.

Photographs published by local outlets show broken glass at the property. Guglielmi confirmed the detained individual is an adult male but said he has not yet been publicly identified.

"The residence was unoccupied at the time of the incident, and the Vice President and his family were not in Ohio," Guglielmi said. "The U.S. Secret Service is coordinating with the Cincinnati Police Department and the U.S. Attorney's Office as charging decisions are reviewed."

A federal law enforcement official told CNN investigators are examining whether the suspect specifically targeted Vance or his family and added that authorities do not believe the individual entered the home. Roads around the property had been closed since the previous Monday, according to ABC-6.

NBC affiliate WLWT reported that Vance and his family had left the Ohio residence several hours before the damage was discovered on Sunday afternoon. A Secret Service spokesperson told Newsweek that agents were continuing to investigate.

"We are gathering all the information, and we will provide an update as soon as possible," the spokesperson said.

This is a developing story and may be updated as investigators review evidence and charging decisions.
