Man in custody after attack on JD Vance's Ohio home, officials say

"A man arrested during an incident where someone appeared to be trying to break into the Ohio house of JD Vance with a hammer is to appear in court on Tuesday. The vice-president on Monday thanked law enforcement in Ohio for arresting someone he referred to as a crazy person who had turned up at his Cincinnati home overnight. The Secret Service said in a statement that one person was in custody after the incident, which took place in the early hours of Monday."

"I appreciate everyone's well wishes about the attack at our home. As far as I can tell, a crazy person tried to break in by hammering the windows. I'm grateful to the secret service and the Cincinnati police for responding quickly, Vance wrote in a post to X. He then assailed the media for covering the incident. One request to the media: we try to protect our kids as much as possible from the realities of this life of public service."

"Vance spent last week at the house overlooking the Ohio River, but left on Sunday afternoon, Cincinnati news channel WLWT reported. The channel published to its website a photograph purporting to show damage to at least four panes of glass in what looked to be a ground floor window. The Secret Service said an adult male was arrested shortly after midnight for causing property damage, including breaking windows on the exterior of a personal residence associated with the vice-president."

A man arrested after appearing to try to break into JD Vance's Ohio house with a hammer is due in court. The Secret Service said one person was in custody after the early-hours incident. Vance said a 'crazy person' hammered the windows, thanked the Secret Service and Cincinnati police for their quick response, and urged the media to avoid showing images that could expose his children. Local news published photos showing damage to at least four panes. The Secret Service is coordinating with the Cincinnati Police and the US Attorney's Office while charging decisions are reviewed.
