US Attorney Capp Resigns in Indiana
HAMMOND, IN – In a shocking move, United States Attorney David Capp has submitted his resignation, ending his 31-year tenure at the US Attorney’s Office.
According to sources, Capp had previously announced his plan to retire in 2017, with a June retirement date in mind. However, his resignation was submitted earlier than expected, citing his desire to step down and begin a new chapter.
Capp, a respected figure in the US Attorney’s Office, reflected on his time in a statement, saying, "It has been my greatest honor and privilege to serve all these years. The work we do in the United States Attorney’s Office has such an important positive impact on the citizens of northern Indiana."
Capp went on to credit the dedicated men and women of the US Attorney’s Office, stating, "They are the people that do the hard work."
One particular incident that has stuck with Capp throughout his career was a 2007 speech at a Gary church, where a grateful citizen thanked him for making the neighborhood safer. Capp recalled, "A gentleman came up to me, shook my hand, thanked me for our efforts and told me ‘now my grandchildren can play in the yard again.’ That has always stuck with me and kept me focused on what our work is really about."
As Capp steps down, he leaves behind a legacy of service and dedication to the people of northern Indiana. His resignation is a testament to the high standards he has maintained throughout his career.
The US Attorney’s Office will now begin the process of finding a replacement for Capp, who will oversee the office until a new leader is appointed.
In a statement, Capp expressed his gratitude to the US Attorney’s Office and its employees, saying, "I want to thank the men and women of the USAO for their dedication and professionalism, day-in and day-out."
