I had advised my office last summer that it was my plan to retire in 2017. I had been looking toward a June retirement, so this is just a few months earlier.<\/p>\n<p>It has been my greatest honor and privilege to serve all these years. The work we do in the United States Attorney&#8217;s Office has such an important positive impact on the citizens of northern Indiana. I want to thank the men and women of the USAO for their dedication and professionalism, day-in and day-out. They are the people that do the hard work!<\/p>\n<p>Some years ago I spoke one evening at a church in Gary. We had just made some arrests and closed down a drug operation in the neighborhood the church served. Afterwards a gentleman came up to me, shook my hand, thanked me for our efforts and told me &#8220;now my grandchildren can play in the yard again.&#8221; That has always stuck with me and kept me focused on what our work is really about. I hope that I have played a part in making more yards in the Northern District of Indiana safe for &#8220;grandchildren to play in.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States Attorney&#8217;s Office announced that David Capp has submitted his resignation as United States Attorney as requested by the Preside<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":65568,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12841],"tags":[34820,9505,3749,37956],"class_list":["post-65567","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-u-s-department-of-justice","tag-doj-u-s-department-of-justice","tag-hammond-indiana","tag-us-attorney-david-capp","tag-us-president-donald-j-trump"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>US Attorney Capp asked to resign<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The United States Attorney\u2019s Office announced that David Capp has submitted his resignation as United States Attorney as requested by the President.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/2017\/03\/11\/us-attorney-capp-asked-to-resign\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"US Attorney Capp asked to resign\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The United States Attorney\u2019s Office announced that David Capp has submitted his resignation as United States Attorney as requested by the President.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/2017\/03\/11\/us-attorney-capp-asked-to-resign\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"AroundFortWayne\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AroundFortWayne\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-03-11T23:00:25+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-12-15T14:08:34+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Dept_of_Justice_seal.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"550\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"slparker67\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@TheAFWBlog\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@TheAFWBlog\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"slparker67\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/2017\/03\/11\/us-attorney-capp-asked-to-resign\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/2017\/03\/11\/us-attorney-capp-asked-to-resign\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"slparker67\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/#\/schema\/person\/88f01e415ca0f3bbfb098de86acaa381\"},\"headline\":\"US Attorney Capp asked to resign\",\"datePublished\":\"2017-03-11T23:00:25+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-12-15T14:08:34+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/2017\/03\/11\/us-attorney-capp-asked-to-resign\/\"},\"wordCount\":261,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/2017\/03\/11\/us-attorney-capp-asked-to-resign\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Dept_of_Justice_seal.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"DOJ U.S. Department of Justice\",\"Hammond Indiana\",\"U.S. Attorney David Capp\",\"U.S. President Donald J.
