A job in a prison kitchen apparently helped Grant Hardin, a former police chief serving time for murder and rape, plot his escape by fashioning a makeshift police uniform, Arkansas prison officials said.
The authorities believe that Grant Hardin, a former small-town police chief convicted of murder, used his law enforcement knowledge to create a makeshift uniform to escape from a prison in Arkansas.
Grant Hardin, who came to be known as the “Devil in the Ozarks,” was captured on Friday, nearly two weeks after his May 25 escape from a high-security prison.
