News 12 reached out to police for more information but had not received any as of Friday evening.

The incident happened after Ryan's office was vandalized right before Christmas

In a statement posted to 'X,' Ryan says in part, "Free speech is foundational to our democracy. It's a core American freedom I risked my life to protect. But forcibly entering and vandalizing federal property is not free speech and gets us no closer to lasting peace."
