He was indicted on a felony count of lying to investigators and four misdemeanor counts related to his ill-gotten Purple Heart license plates.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, I never thought this day would come. The organization that sponsored the ill-fated float ride and parade, Show of Support, gave Shane a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=38552\">big show of support<\/a> when he returned to Midland over a year ago to be honored once again by the organization despite the fact that records proved that he didn&#8217;t have a Purple Heart.<\/p>\n<p>Randy Travis, the FoxTV reporter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=35347\">who told us about the story<\/a> in the first place was in the court room for the Grand Jury hearing on Monday. He tells us that the prosecution had only one witness to call &#8211; an FBI agent who probably testified, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=35606\">like we did<\/a>, that there is no record of a Purple Heart.<\/p>\n<p>Ladner and his attorney insisted that there were records in Panama and Fort Benning that would prove that he had a Purple Heart. In Panama, there were supposed to be records of his medical treatment, but that particular hospital is now a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gorgas_Hospital\">civilian cancer treatment center<\/a>, not a military hospital. His Purple Heart citation was supposed to be hiding out in some clerk&#8217;s desk at Fort Benning, I guess that wasn&#8217;t true either. I did my part &#8211; I volunteered to go to Panama and look for records that don&#8217;t exist in a hospital that doesn&#8217;t exist (where my youngest daughter was born), but I  guess the Ladners didn&#8217;t need my services. <\/p>\n<p>Our buddy, Randy Travis of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myfoxatlanta.com\/story\/27840331\/grand-jury-indicts-former-cop-in-purple-heart-case\">FOXTV Atlanta sends us his link<\/a> to the article about Ladner&#8217;s indictment;<\/p>\n<p><script type='text\/javascript' src='http:\/\/WAGA.images.worldnow.com\/interface\/js\/WNVideo.js?rnd=182279;hostDomain=www.myfoxatlanta.com;playerWidth=500;playerHeight=300;isShowIcon=true;clipId=11031022;flvUri=;partnerclipid=;adTag=News;advertisingZone=;enableAds=true;landingPage=;islandingPageoverride=false;playerType=STANDARD_EMBEDDEDscript;controlsType=overlay'><\/script><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myfoxatlanta.com\" title=\"Atlanta News, Weather, Traffic, and Sports | FOX 5 \">Atlanta News, Weather, Traffic, and Sports | FOX 5 <\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you watch the video, you hear Randy tell of how his station is involved in legal proceedings with the Ladners as they&#8217;ve sued the TV station for their reportage on the case.
