Troubling news out of Ohio.
Vice President JD Vance's home in Cincinnati was allegedly attacked, according to the Secret Service.
'An adult male was taken into custody by the Cincinnati Police Department after being detained by U.S. Secret Service personnel for causing property damage, including breaking windows on the exterior of a personal residence associated with the Vice President,' A Secret Service spokesperson told the Daily Mail.
'Shortly after midnight on Monday, January 5, the man was physically detained by Secret Service agents assigned to the Vice President’s home. The residence was unoccupied at the time of the incident, and the Vice President and his family were not in Ohio.'
Secret Service agents alerted police just after midnight after seeing a suspect running from the home.
The video showed multiple holes in the windows. The police and Secret Service were there for several hours, looking into the evidence. They have not clarified further about the motive for the alleged incident.
The Secret Service said they were working with the local police and the U.S. Attorney's Office on charging decisions. There reportedly will be more from the authorities later this morning.
Authorities are investigating whether an individual was targeting Vance or his family, a federal law enforcement official told CNN. They do not believe the person entered the vice president’s home.
Vance had communicated with other Trump officials over a secure video conference during their meeting and action on Venezuela early Saturday morning, to monitor the situation. He said President Donald Trump had previously offered the dictator Nicolás Maduro "multiple off-ramps," but he didn't take them. "Maduro is the newest person to find out that President Trump means what he says," Vance said.

This home is Vance's primary residence, apart from their home now at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C. The family was there over the weekend, but had left by the time this incident occurred.
