Suspect Arrested After Attack on VP Vance's Home

William DeFoor, 26, was arrested for damaging windows and vandalizing a Secret Service vehicle at Vice President Vance's unoccupied Cincinnati home, officials said.

  • On Jan. 5, 2026, U.S. Secret Service agents detained a man after alleged property damage at Vice President JD Vance's East Walnut Hills, Cincinnati, Ohio residence, and the Cincinnati Police Department took him into custody.
  • Vance's family was in Washington, D.C., and the East Walnut Hills, Cincinnati, Ohio residence was unoccupied during the incident; Vice President JD Vance had left Sunday afternoon after spending the prior week in Cincinnati.
  • Arrest reports and local images show four exterior windows were smashed and a hammer was used to break a window; the suspect also vandalized a Secret Service vehicle before detention.
  • William DeFoor, 26, is charged with obstructing official business, criminal damaging, trespass and vandalism and will be arraigned Tuesday in Hamilton County Municipal Court while prosecutors and the Secret Service review charges.
  • The incident comes amid heightened concerns about political violence after multiple high-profile killings last year, and authorities are investigating whether it was a targeted attack while residence security remains under review.
