What happened at the Vance home
A hammer-wielding suspect allegedly smashed four windows at JD Vance’s Ohio home.
The break-in happened overnight at his $1.4 million Cincinnati residence.
Who police charged
William D DeFoor, 26, was charged early Monday after the incident.
He faces counts of obstructing official business, criminal damaging or endangering, criminal trespass and vandalism.
Secret Service agents heard a loud noise around midnight, then saw someone run.
A spokesman said agents detained DeFoor shortly after, before Cincinnati Police took custody.
What is known about DeFoor
DeFoor is a Cincinnati native who grew up in Hyde Park.

He attended The Summit Country Day School, costing $27,000 per year.
DeFoor, then known as Davis, graduated in 2018 as a National AP Scholar.
He appears to have transitioned and now goes by the name Julia.
A Facebook page reflecting “transgender woman Julia DeFoor” appeared last month.

They involved more than $2,000 damage and a $5,550 payment order.
What Vance said
“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.”
