    Former Police Chief On the Run After Escaping Prison

    Grant Hardin, a 56-year-old convicted murderer and rapist, has evaded capture following his escape from the North Central Unit in Calico Rock, Arkansas, on May 25, 2025. The Arkansas Department of Corrections (ADOC) has released a newly projected image of Hardin to help the public recognize him in case he is sighted.

    A Notorious Background

    Grant Hardin’s criminal history is both extensive and troubling. In 2018, he confessed to the murder of a water company employee, a crime for which he received a 30-year sentence. Following that conviction, DNA evidence linked him to a 1997 rape case involving a schoolteacher, leading to an additional 50-year sentence. Hardin previously held positions as a police chief in Gateway and a constable in Benton County but resigned amid allegations of misconduct during his earlier career.

    ADOC spokesperson Rand Champion clarified the purpose behind the release of the projected image, stating, “We took the last headshot we had of Grant Hardin and projected what he might possibly look like after a week on the run.” The image depicts Hardin with a neatly trimmed beard and reflects changes in his appearance after a week without adequate food.

    The Escape

    The circumstances of Hardin’s escape remain under investigation. He managed to exit the facility wearing a costume resembling a corrections officer’s uniform, which misled a prison officer into opening a secure gate for him. Notably, this disguise is not an official DOC uniform, and authorities are looking into whether Hardin received any outside help in executing his escape.

    Ongoing Search Efforts

    As the search for Hardin intensifies, law enforcement agencies are focusing their efforts in north-central Arkansas. A reward of $25,000, offered by the FBI and U.S. Marshals Service, is available for any information leading to his recapture. Authorities urge the public to remain vigilant and report any sightings.

    The situation is developing, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
