U.S. Secret Service and local police arrested 26-year-old William DeFoor, early Monday, for allegedly attempting to break into Vice President JD Vance’s Cincinnati home in the East Walnut Hills neighborhood, by smashing four windows with a hammer and damaging a U.S. Secret Service vehicle in the driveway.
After being detained, DeFoor 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.
DeFoor, who is reportedly transgender and now identifies as Julia DeFoor, has a prior criminal history involving vandalism and mental health issues, including a 2024 conviction that led to two years of mandatory mental health treatment. He has been linked to social media profiles under the name “Julia DeFoor,” using “she/her” pronouns on Instagram and Facebook, and has liked pages such as “Heartland Trans Wellness.”
The suspect is charged with obstructing official business, criminal damaging or endangering, criminal trespass, vandalism (a fifth-degree felony), and federal charges including damaging government property and assaulting federal officers.
"I appreciate everyone's well wishes about the attack at our home," Vance wrote in part, Monday, on X. "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."
DeFoor’s father, William R. DeFoor Jr., a pediatric urologist at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and a professor at the University of Cincinnati’s College of Medicine, is a registered Democrat and has made significant donations to Democratic causes, including Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. His mother, Catherine DeFoor, is a general pediatrician, and the family resides in a $1.3 million home in Cincinnati’s affluent Hyde Park neighborhood.
The suspect previously pleaded guilty in April 2024 to two counts of vandalism involving a business, resulting in a sentence of two years of mental health treatment and $5,500 in restitution. And in 2023, DeFoor was arrested for trespassing at UC Health’s Psychiatric Emergency Services and was found not competent to stand trial; charges were dismissed.
