A former police chief who escaped from an Arkansas prison is captured
Briefly

Grant Hardin, a convicted killer and former police chief, was recaptured near the prison he escaped from after a significant two-week-long manhunt in northern Arkansas mountains. Hardin had used impersonation tactics to escape from Calico Rock prison, resulting in a major investigative effort involving multiple search methods. Once captured, Hardin showed no resistance and was confirmed through fingerprinting. Authorities have initiated inquiries into the security lapse that allowed his escape, indicating that someone failed to verify his identity before release.
