A suspect was ‘physically detained’ by the Secret Service after breaking into JD Vance’s home early Monday morning.
Several windows of the property in Cincinnati, Ohio, were destroyed and one person was taken into custody for trespassing, local police said.
The Secret Service arrived at the destroyed property overnight but left early Monday morning.
The agency said it is working with the Cincinnati Police Department and the U.S. Attorney’s Office to prosecute suspects involved in property destruction.
A Secret Service spokesperson told the Daily Mail: ‘An adult male was taken into custody by the Cincinnati Police Department after being detained by US Secret Service personnel for causing property damage, including breaking windows on the exterior of a personal residence belonging to the Vice President.’
They added: ‘Shortly after midnight on Monday, January 5, the man was physically detained by Secret Service agents assigned to the Vice President’s home. ‘The residence was vacant at the time of the incident and the Vice President and his family were not in Ohio.’
Agents notified police just after midnight after spotting a suspect running away from the home that was the second residence of Vance, his wife, Usha, and their three children.
Local police were seen entering and exiting the home for several hours throughout the night.
