A former Arkansas police chief who escaped from a prison 12 days ago was apprehended about a mile and half from where he was incarcerated in northwest Arkansas.

Police in Mountain View and Stone County Sheriff’s Department confirmed that escaped inmate Grant Hardin has been captured.

The Arkansas Democrat Gazette first reported that Deputy U.S. Marshal Robert J. Hammons wrote in a criminal complaint filed in federal district court Friday that Hardin had left the state based on “credible information” and the inability to find him within a week.
