A man was arrested overnight for vandalizing the personal residence of U.S. Vice President JD Vance in Ohio, officials said Monday.

"As far as I can tell, a crazy person tried to break in by hammering the windows," Vance said in a post on X. "We weren't even home as we had returned already to DC."

In a statement, the U.S. Secret Service said the man, who was not identified, was arrested for "causing property damage, including breaking windows" at Vance's Cincinnati home.

"The man was physically detained by Secret Service agents assigned to the Vice President's home," the statement said.

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