A 26-year-old Ohio man was arrested early Monday after smashing windows at the Cincinnati home of Vice President JD Vance, according to authorities.

William DeFoor is charged with obstructing official business, criminal damaging or endangering, criminal trespass, and vandalism, according to Hamilton County jail records. His first court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday.

The Associated Press, citing two law enforcement officials, reported that Secret Service agents heard a loud noise at the home around midnight and found DeFoor had broken a window with a hammer and was trying to get into the house.

The suspect had also vandalized a Secret Service vehicle on his way up the driveway, one of the officials said.

In a statement on X, Vance said: “I appreciate everyone’s well wishes about the attack at our home. As far as I can tell, a crazy person tried to break in by hammering the windows. I’m grateful to the secret service [sic] and the Cincinnati police for responding quickly.

“We weren’t even home as we had returned already to DC,” Vance added. “One request to the media: we try to protect our kids as much as possible from the realities of this life of public service. In that light, I am skeptical of the news value of plastering images of our home with holes in the windows.”

WLWT-TV reported that Vance, 41, had spent the past week in the Queen City before returning to Washington Sunday afternoon.

The veep bought the home in the tony Walnut Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati in 2018 for $1.4 million.

WXIX-TV, citing court documents, reported that DeFoor pleaded guilty this past April to two counts of vandalism after he caused more than $2,000 worth of damage to a local interior design company.

He was sentenced to treatment at a mental health facility for two years and was required to pay $5,550 in restitution.

DeFoor was also charged with criminal trespassing in April 2023 and held on a $10,000 bond — but a judge determined he was not mentally competent to stand trial and the counts were dismissed in a Nov. 8 filing that year.

“On consideration of the report and other evidence before the Court, the Court finds that the defendant is not capable of understanding the nature and objective of the proceedings against the defendant and is not capable of presently assisting in the defense,” wrote Hamilton County Judge Heather Russell.

In March last year, Vance made headlines for criticizing pro-Ukraine protesters who demonstrated outside the house and allegedly accosted him while taking a walk with his then-3-year-old daughter.

“I decided to speak with the protesters in the hopes that I could trade a few minutes of conversation for them leaving my toddler alone. (Nearly all of them agreed),” Vance wrote on X at the time. “It was a mostly respectful conversation, but if you’re chasing a 3-year-old as part of a political protest, you’re a s–t person.”

Cincinnati police did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
