Washington, DC [US], January 5 (ANI): One person has been taken into custody and a probe is underway after several windows were reportedly damaged in an incident at the Ohio residence of US Vice President JD Vance, CNN reported citing a federal law enforcement source on Monday.
According to preliminary information, the Vance family was not present at the residence when the incident occurred shortly after midnight.
Authorities believe the individual did not enter the vice president's home.
Images published by local media outlets showed damage to windows at the property.
However, officials said it remains unclear what exactly caused the damage at this stage, as investigators continue to assess the circumstances.
Law enforcement authorities are also examining whether the incident was specifically directed at Vice President Vance or members of his family, the federal official said, CNN reported, as the inquiry remains ongoing.
Against this backdrop of heightened security concerns, US Vice President Vance did not appear at President Donald Trump's news conference announcing the capture of deposed dictator Nicolas Maduro, a spokesperson said.
This was despite Vance being closely involved in the planning and execution of the operation.
President Trump addressed the media hours after deposed dictator Nicolas Maduro was taken into US custody on Saturday.
He was standing alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio, War Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine, Fox News reported.
While Vance publicly praised the operation on social media platform X, he did not attend the briefing.
According to officials, Vance met Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Friday to discuss the strikes.
However, he was absent from Trump's golf club later that night when senior officials monitored the mission.
The national security team "was concerned a late-night motorcade movement by the Vice President while the operation was getting underway may tip off the Venezuelans," Fox News reported.
Explaining how Vance remained engaged during the operation, the spokesperson said, "The Vice President joined by secure video conference throughout the night to monitor the operation."
"He returned to Cincinnati after the operation concluded."
Citing "increased security concerns," the spokesperson added that Trump and Vance are limiting the "frequency and duration" of time they spend together outside the White House.
This was reported by Fox News Digital and reflects broader precautions taken around senior leadership.
After the operation became public, Vance commented on X, writing, "Maduro is the newest person to find out that President Trump means what he says."
Responding to criticism of the action, he added in a separate post, "And PSA for everyone saying this was 'illegal': Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narco-terrorism."
"You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas," Fox News noted. (ANI)
