The Arkansas Department of Corrections (ADC) released a new photo of Grant Hardin, a former police chief who became a prisoner and escaped on May 25. This release comes as a major manhunt is ongoing near the Ozarks.

Grant Hardin, 56, who previously served as chief of the Gateway Police Department, escaped from the North Central Unit, a medium-security prison in Calico Rock, on that Sunday afternoon, as reported by the ADC. Known as the “Devil in the Ozarks,” Hardin was serving a long sentence for murder and rape.

The ADC stated in a Tuesday update, “The search for escaped inmate Grant Hardin is ongoing with teams concentrating their efforts in the north central Arkansas region and following up on tips as they come in,” along with a photo of Hardin with facial hair. “It has been over a week since Hardin escaped the North Central Unit, and we are releasing a possible updated image to show how he might appear now.”

The FBI and U.S. Marshals are offering a combined $25,000 for any information leading to Hardin’s capture. They are asking anyone with information to call 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov.

Hardin ended up pleading guilty in that case in 2019, according to KNWA.

The former police chief’s escape came two days after 10 prisoners escaped a correctional facility in New Orleans, eight of whom have since been recaptured while two remain at large.

Hardin is described as a 6-foot White male, weighing approximately 259 pounds. 

Fox News’ Stepheny Price and Louis Casiano contributed to this report.
