URGENT UPDATE: In a shocking incident, US Vice President JD Vance reported that “a crazy person” attempted to break into his home in Ohio early Monday morning. The alarming event unfolded shortly after midnight, while Vance and his family were away in Washington, D.C.
The US Secret Service confirmed to the Associated Press that a man was detained after breaking windows and causing property damage at Vance’s residence. “As far as I can tell, a crazy person tried to break in by hammering the windows,” Vance stated in a post on X. He expressed gratitude towards the Secret Service and the Cincinnati Police Department for their swift response.
The chaos erupted when law enforcement officials heard loud noises at the home and discovered the suspect trying to enter through a broken window. Authorities reported that the intruder also vandalized a Secret Service vehicle as he approached the property.
“I’m grateful to the Secret Service and the Cincinnati police for responding quickly,” Vance added, urging media outlets not to publish images of his home with visible damage.
Law enforcement sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the ongoing investigation, stated that the Secret Service is coordinating with local police and the US Attorney’s Office as they review potential charges against the suspect.
This incident raises significant concerns about security for high-ranking officials. As a former US senator representing Ohio, Vance’s public profile has made him a focal point in political discussions. The Walnut Hills neighborhood, where the attempted break-in occurred, is known for its historical significance, including the Harriet Beecher Stowe House.
The investigation is ongoing, and updates will be provided as new information becomes available. What happens next could have implications for security protocols surrounding the Vice President and other officials.
Stay tuned for more developments on this urgent situation as the authorities continue to assess the incident and its ramifications.
