## Resource

In this gripping episode of the National Police Association Podcast , Sergeant Betsy Brantner Smith sits down with former Marion County, Florida Deputy David Ur and his wife, Dr. Lana Krichevsky-Ur , to share their harrowing journey from public service to personal and professional devastation. What began as David’s midlife dream to serve in law enforcement turned into a nightmare of alleged retaliation, political interference, and career destruction after an arrest involving a politically connected suspect. David details his path from crane operator and helicopter pilot to deputy sheriff, excelling in the academy and eager to serve. But after a routine call turned into a felony drug arrest, internal politics and accusations of false reporting stripped him of his badge, his gun, and eventually, his law enforcement license. The couple recounts how the ordeal led to financial collapse, public humiliation, and a four-year legal battle while the suspect’s charges quietly disappeared. Lana opens up about the emotional toll of watching her husband’s career implode while she worked grueling hours as a medical resident. Together, they share how they rebuilt their lives operating a pizza food truck in Flagler Beach that donates to The Wounded Blue and how they are now pursuing justice through a federal lawsuit.
