WASHINGTON, Jan 5 (KUNA) -- One person is in custody and an investigation is under way following an incident that caused property damage at the Ohio residence of Vice President JD Vance, authorities said Monday.
"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 Vice President JD Vance in Ohio," Spokesman for the U.S. Secret Service Anthony Guglielmi was quoted by the CNN News Network as saying.
He said that Vance's family was not at home when the accident took place.
Photos from local news outlets showed damage to the windows of the residence.
For his part, Vance said in a post on X, "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." "We weren't even home as we had returned already to DC," he added. (end) rsr.mt
