Secret Service agents sprinted toward the sound, finding a man allegedly breaking windows,<\/p>\n

Authorities say the unidentified suspect was quickly tackled and detained by<\/p>\n
Secret Service agents before he could get inside the Walnut Hills residence,<\/p>\n
then handed over to Cincinnati police on suspicion of property damage.<\/p>\n
Vice President Vance and his family were not home, having left for Washington the previous afternoon,<\/p>\n

The house has long been a flashpoint, drawing protesters over Vance\u2019s positions on Ukraine and<\/p>\n
other issues, including a tense episode in which demonstrators allegedly confronted him while he walked with his young daughter.<\/p>\n
Vance has publicly railed against those who bring political rage to his front door.<\/p>\n
