One person is in custody after an overnight attack at the home of JD Vance, in which windows were broken, authorities in Ohio said Monday.
The US vice president was not at his residence in Cincinnati at the time, according to a statement from the US Secret Service, the Telegraph reports.
The agency said an adult male was arrested shortly after midnight "for causing property damage, including breaking windows on the exterior of a personal residence associated with the vice president," CNN reported.
"The U.S. Secret Service is coordinating with the Cincinnati Police Department and the U.S. Attorney's Office as the charging decisions are reviewed," said spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.
Cincinnati news channel WLWT said Secret Service agents and Cincinnati police spent several hours at the home in the East Walnut Hills neighborhood after responding to reports of window damage.
Two unidentified law enforcement sources told The Associated Press that Secret Service agents heard a loud noise at the home around midnight and found a person who had broken a window with a hammer and was trying to enter the home.
The man had also vandalized a Secret Service vehicle as he pulled up to the entrance of the house, one of the officials said.
Vance spent last week at the home overlooking the Ohio River, but left Sunday afternoon, WLWT reported.
The channel published a photograph on its website that claimed to show damage to at least four panes of glass in what appeared to be a ground-floor window.
While Vance enjoys 24-hour personal protection from the Secret Service as vice president, the level of security maintained at his private residence varies depending on his travel plans. /Telegraph
