CALICO ROCK, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — A former police chief in Northwest Arkansas who escaped from prison on Sunday afternoon is now one of 10 inmates who are currently on the run after escaping.
Grant Hardin, 56, escaped from the North Central Unit in Calico Rock as he was serving a decades-long sentence for rape and murder convictions.
