Suspect in custody after incident at US VP Vance’s Ohio residence

One person has been taken into custody after an incident that caused damage to the Ohio residence of US Vice-President JD Vance, authorities have said.

Cincinnati police and US Secret Service agents responded to the property shortly after midnight. The Vance family was not in Ohio at the time, according to the Secret Service, Caliber.Az reports per foreign media.

Images published by local media showed broken windows at the residence. A Secret Service spokesperson said an adult male, who has not been identified, was detained “for causing property damage, including breaking windows on the exterior of a personal residence associated with” Vance.

No injuries were reported, and authorities do not believe the individual entered the home.

“The U.S. Secret Service is coordinating with the Cincinnati Police Department and the U.S. Attorney’s Office as charging decisions are reviewed,” the spokesperson, Anthony Guglielmi, said.

Officials are examining whether the suspect had been targeting the vice-president or his family, a federal law enforcement source.

A White House official said the Vance family had left the area before the incident occurred.
