Early morning response
Police were called to the vice president’s home shortly after midnight, following a report from the U.S. Secret Service.
A Cincinnati police dispatcher told FOX19 NOW that agents requested assistance at about 12.15am after spotting someone “running eastbound.”
According to the dispatcher, Secret Service personnel were at the scene earlier in the morning but had left by the time local officers began a wider search of the area.
Officers were observed using flashlights to examine broken glass near the house, as they worked to assess the situation.
Visible property damage
The property, which is owned by Vance and sits above the Ohio River, showed clear signs of damage by daylight, WCPO reported. Several windows appeared to be shattered, with large holes visible from outside.
Video footage from the scene showed police patrolling the area, photographing the damage and documenting the condition of the home.
Investigators have not said how the windows were broken or whether the incident was targeted.
Custody and context
Police confirmed that at least one person has been taken into custody, though it remains unclear whether any charges have been filed or how the individual may be connected to the damage.
The incident occurred shortly after security restrictions around the residence were lifted. Roads near the home had been closed between December 29 and January 4, according to local reports.
Authorities have not released further details as the investigation continues.
