"According to an affidavit filed in federal court, the Secret Service saw someone run along the front fence of Vance's residence and breach the property line around midnight. The person later identified as DeFoor was armed with a hammer and tried to break out the window of an unmarked Secret Service vehicle on the way up the driveway before moving toward the front of the home and breaking its glass windows, the affidavit says."
"Fourteen historic window panes were broken and damage was done to security enhancements around the windows valued at $28,000, according to the filing. A judge set bonds totaling $11,000 on state charges of vandalism, criminal trespass, criminal damaging and obstruction of official business that were brought in Hamilton County court. There, DeFoor was previously deemed incompetent to face trial on a 2023 criminal trespassing charge and referred for treatment after a 2024 vandalism charge."
William D. DeFoor, 26, was detained early Monday by Secret Service agents assigned to Vice President JD Vance's Cincinnati home after breaching the property line around midnight. Secret Service officers saw DeFoor run along the front fence, armed with a hammer, attempt to break an unmarked Secret Service vehicle window, then move to the front of the residence and shatter glass windows. Fourteen historic window panes and security enhancements sustained about $28,000 in damage. State charges include vandalism, criminal trespass, criminal damaging and obstruction with $11,000 in bonds; federal charges include damaging government property and impeding officers with upcoming hearings scheduled.
