UPDATE: A man has been arrested for allegedly causing significant property damage at the Cincinnati home of Vice President JD Vance. The arrest occurred in the early hours of January 5, 2025, shortly after midnight, as U.S. Secret Service agents responded to reports of broken windows and vandalism at the property.
The damage was inflicted while Vance and his family were visiting Ohio, with the vice president’s family currently residing at the vice president’s mansion located at the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C. Fortunately, no one was inside the home during the incident.
According to a statement from Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi, “The U.S. Secret Service is coordinating with the Cincinnati Police Department and U.S. Attorney’s Office as charging decisions are reviewed.” Law enforcement is actively investigating the situation to determine if Vance was specifically targeted, though they do not believe the suspect entered the home.
The property, purchased by Vance for $1.4 million in 2018, is now at the center of this urgent investigation. As details continue to unfold, authorities remain vigilant in their efforts to address the vandalism and ensure the safety of the vice president’s family.
Stay tuned for further updates as the situation develops. This incident underscores the heightened security concerns surrounding public officials and their residences, particularly in light of recent events.
