Some false alarms at Ramaswamy’s home
In addition to documenting threats on Ramaswamy’s life, police records also show that for home workers, neighbors and other passersby, stopping near his home can result in a conversation with police.
Upper Arlington police’s command staff at times have ordered extra patrols around Ramaswamy’s home, which is in a secluded neighborhood, but located near several major roads. After he launched his presidential campaign in 2023, police temporarily createed a no-parking area near his home – with designated space for protesters and media. Formal patrol orders issued in September 2024 and March 2025 lay out the need for patrols as often as twice a shift, describing “numerous recent death threats” toward Ramaswamy and his family.”
Roughly once a month, Ramaswamy’s private security team has called police to report a suspicious person. None have resulted in police finding someone who was a confirmed threat.
These calls include one incident in February 2024, when Ramaswamy’s team reported a suspicious man near the home.
Police spoke with the man. They determined he was a neighbor checking out the progress of a new house being built.
In September 2024, Ramaswamy’s team called twice in the same day to report a suspicious male. The man told Ramaswamy’s security staff, and later local police, that he was a political canvasser. The interaction was documented and attached to the order issued that month calling for extra patrols.
And in December 2025, Ramaswamy’s security team reported a man walking around the neighborhood taking pictures of homes. He told police he was calling his wife in Mexico, who’d never seen snow, so she could see the neighborhood’s Christmas lights.
In several instances, Ramaswamy’s security team called police to report suspicious vehicles before a quick investigation revealed the person had a clear reason to be there.
These incidents involved a roofing contractor, a snow removal worker, and a man whose wife worked as a house cleaner.
Security called the police in January 2026 when they saw an older man sitting in his car outside Ramaswamy’s house, appearing to take notes. Police found the man had an appointment with Ramaswamy that afternoon, but had arrived a few hours early by accident.
