A man accused of using a hammer to smash the windows of Vice President JD Vance's Ohio home was in custody Monday.
The man was suspected of trying to break open windows of Vance's Cincinnati home with a hammer just after midnight Monday and was "physically detained" by Cincinnati Police Department officers, according to The Washington Post.
Vance posted on X that he and his family were in Washington, D.C. at the time of the attempted break-in.
"As far as I can tell, a crazy person tried to break in by hammering the windows," he wrote.
WLWT obtained an arrest report that identified William DeFoor, 26, as the man in custody.
