William Defoor, 26, to appear in court Tuesday after arrest for alleged attack on vice-president’s Cincinnati home
A man arrested during an incident where someone appeared to be trying to break into the Ohio house of JD Vance with a hammer is to appear in court on Tuesday.
The vice-president on Monday thanked law enforcement in Ohio for arresting someone he referred to as a “crazy person” who had turned up at his Cincinnati home overnight.
The Secret Service said in a statement that one person was in custody after the incident, which took place in the early hours of Monday. Vance had returned to Washington DC the day before.
“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 and the Cincinnati police for responding quickly,” Vance wrote in a post to X.
