DeVillers has been U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio since Nov 1. 2019. The Southern District includes the metropolitan areas of Cincinnati, Columbus and Dayton and 48 of Ohio’s 88 counties. DeVillers released the following statement on Tuesday: “It is with a heavy heart that I announce my resignation. I have been a prosecutor for my entire career, and it was my wish to remain a prosecutor until the end of my career, but that is not to be. I want to thank my family, friends and colleagues for all of the incredible support and encouragement over the years. I also want to thank Senators Portman and Brown for their trust in me. It has been the honor of my life to serve as the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio.
