Chief Craig leaving Cincinnati for Detroit

CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19)- After less than two years in Cincinnati, Police Chief James Craig is leaving the Queen City for his hometown of Detroit.

The official announcement was made during a press conference on Tuesday morning at City Hall. The resignation will be effective June 22. 

Craig has committed to staying in the Queen City to be there for officers when anticipated cuts going into effect in early June.

"We're facing possible layoffs and in support for the men and women I want to physically be here on that day because it's that important," Craig said.

"He certainly will be missed," said City Manager Milton Dohoney. "Under the tenure of Chief Craig, crime went down in the city. You'd have to call his time here a success."

Assistant Chief Paul Humphries has been appointed interim chief and will help lead the department during the layoff process.

Holtman's Donuts to open new shop in OTR

OVER-THE-RHINE, OH (FOX19) - A family-owned pastry shop is setting up space in Over-the Rhine.

Holtman’s Donuts signed a lease Tuesday morning at 1332 Vine Street on the ground floor of the Trinity Flats building at Mercer and Vine streets in OTR.

Donuts will be made fresh daily on-site, and the shop hours will likely mirror those of the Loveland store, open from 4:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. some nights.

Charles Holtman started the business in 1960, and his daughter and son-in-law, Toni and Chuck Plazarin, now operate two Holtman’s Donuts in Loveland, Ohio and Williamsburg, Ohio. Toni and Chuck’s son, Danny Plazarin, will open the new location with his fiancé, this summer.
