Grant Hardin, 56, escaped from the North Central Unit in Calico Rock, Arkansas, at 2:55 p.m. local time on May 25 wearing a “makeshift outfit designed to mimic law enforcement,” according to the Arkansas Department of Corrections. The former Gateway, Arkansas, police chief was imprisoned in 2017.

Crazy how a cop serving time got his hands on another cop’s outfit and then all the other cops looked the opposite way while he wandered out of his jail cell, through the gates, and back into the general public like that.

Oh well. I’m sure it doesn’t imply anything.
