UPDATE: A man has been arrested by U.S. Secret Service agents for allegedly causing significant property damage at the Cincinnati home of Vice President JD Vance. The arrest occurred in the early hours of January 5, 2023, after extensive damage, including shattered windows, was reported at Vance’s residence.
Authorities confirmed that Vance and his family were not present during the incident, as they were visiting Ohio over the weekend. Since taking office, the Vance family has been residing in the vice president’s mansion located at the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C.
The property, which Vance purchased for $1.4 million in 2018, sustained damage shortly after midnight. U.S. Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi stated, “The U.S. Secret Service is coordinating with the Cincinnati Police Department and U.S. Attorney’s Office as charging decisions are reviewed.” Officials are actively investigating to determine if Vance was specifically targeted, although they do not believe the suspect entered the home.
As this story develops, the local community and law enforcement remain on high alert. The incident raises concerns about the safety and security of public officials, especially with the increasing tensions surrounding political figures.
Next steps will focus on the ongoing investigation and any potential charges that may be brought against the suspect. Stay tuned for updates as more information becomes available.
