Arkansas authorities are looking at whether a job in the prison kitchen played a role in the escape of a convicted former police chief known as the “Devil in the Ozarks.”
Grant Hardin, 56, was housed in a maximum-security wing of the Calico Rock prison from which he escaped on Sunday by donning an outfit designed to look like a law enforcement uniform, Arkansas Department of Corrections spokesperson Rand Champion told The Associated Press Thursday. But Hardin also held a job in the kitchen of the medium-security facility.
