Vice President JD Vance thanked everyone for well wishes, saying his home was attacked by a “crazy person.”

“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. We weren’t even home as we had returned already to DC,” Vance said.

“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,” he added.

As reported earlier, a man was arrested for allegedly causing damage to Vance’s residence in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Cincinnati police officers and Secret Service agents responded to Vance’s home and took the suspect into custody.

Secret Service agents physically detained the adult male shortly after midnight, the agency told Fox News in a statement.

The individual, whose identity was not immediately provided, allegedly caused property damage, including breaking windows on the exterior of a personal residence, the Secret Service said.

After being detained, the man was taken into custody by the Cincinnati Police Department.

"The residence was unoccupied at the time of the incident, and the Vice President and his family were not in Ohio," the agency said.

William DeFoor, 26, was identified as the suspect who allegedly caused the damage to Vance's residence.

According to reports, DeFoor identifies as transgender, going by the name of "Julia DeFoor," and is the son of a Democrat donor.

"She grew up in luxury in Hyde Park, attended elite private schools, and is the child of William and Catherine DeFoor ,both prominent pediatric doctors who’ve donated thousands to Democratic causes, including Kamala Harris and Joe Biden," Mario Nawfal wrote.

"No motive has been released, but the suspect has a prior criminal record, including a guilty plea for vandalizing an interior design firm in 2024," he added.

He identifies as transgender and his father, a surgeon, is a Democrat donor, states the Daily Mail. DeFoor was previously arrested for other crimes related to vandalism in April and was sentenced to treatment at a mental health facility for two years in addition to paying $5,500 in restitution.

A Facebook profile shows a picture of DeFoor, but with the name "Julia." Additionally, an Instagram profile bearing the same name and likeness says "Julia DeFoor" goes by "she/her" pronouns.

DeFoor’s father, William R. DeFoor Jr, who works at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, has also made several donations to Democrats in the past. The doctor, who goes by Bob DeFoor on Facebook, is friends with the "Julia DeFoor" social media account.

The Facebook account with the name "Julia DeFoor" has multiple liked pages, one of them including "Heartland Trans Wellness."

DeFoor, 26, was arrested by Secret Service after allegedly vandalizing a USSS car in the driveway of Vance's Ohio home as well as smashing multiple windows with a hammer. He has been charged with obstructing official business, criminal damaging or endangering, criminal trespass, and vandalism, according to public records.
