A 26-year-old Hyde Park man has agreed to plead guilty to two federal charges for smashing windows at Vice President JD Vance's East Walnut Hills home in January.

William DeFoor faces up to 10 years in prison on each count, according to a plea agreement filed Monday, Aug. 31, in U.S. District Court in Cincinnati, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported. The charges are damaging property of the United States and vandalizing property in a restricted building or grounds.

DeFoor must also pay nearly $28,000 in restitution and stay at least 350 yards from Vance, his family and his residences.

A federal judge was scheduled to formally accept the plea at a hearing Sept. 1. No outcome from that hearing had been confirmed.

The case traces back to shortly after midnight on Jan. 5, when prosecutors said DeFoor walked about three miles from his parents' Hyde Park home to Vance's house carrying a hammer in a backpack. He struck the window of a Secret Service vehicle, then ran up the driveway and smashed 14 glass panels across three large front windows, prosecutors said. He also damaged security equipment on the windows.

Vance and his family were not home at the time.

DeFoor, who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, has remained in federal custody since his arrest that same day. He has been receiving psychiatric medication while jailed.

DeFoor was already undergoing court-ordered mental health treatment when he was arrested. That treatment stemmed from a 2024 case that also involved broken windows at a Hyde Park business. In 2024, he was the subject of three cases in Hamilton County's mental health court, where he was twice determined to have a mental illness. In one case, a judge ordered forced medication.

Federal agents reviewed DeFoor's electronic devices, social media accounts and writings but found no clear motive for why he targeted Vance's home, according to court filings cited by the Enquirer.

Sentencing has not been scheduled.
