Authorities are on the hunt for Grant Hardin, who was captured on security cameras walking out of the North Central Unit prison, in Calico Rock on Sunday. The disgraced ex-Arkansas police chief was serving 80 years for rape and a shotgun-to-the-head execution for which he became known as the "Devil in the Ozarks,” – a story told in a 2023 Max documentary. Upon his escape, Hardin was dressed in what appears to be a homemade law enforcement uniform, which he used to sneak through the controlled gate while inconspicuously pushing a cart full of utility materials at approximately 2:55 p.m. Authorities consider Hardin to be dangerous, and have warned residents not to approach him if they spot him as the manhunt continues with dogs, helicopters and drones.
