TEXARKANA (AP) — A Mount Pleasant man is to report to federal prison on Veterans Day for falsely claiming blindness to get veterans benefits. Former U.S. Marine Jim Bob Shipp begins his 63-month sentence on November 11, and must repay more than $800,000. Shipp maintains his innocence and says he’ll appeal.
