'Devil in the Ozarks' captured after prison escape

Former police chief known as the "Devil in the Ozarks" was captured in Arkansas Friday, 1.5 miles away from the prison grounds where he escaped nearly two weeks ago. Grant Hardin identity was confirmed through fingerprinting, the Izard County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post. The Border Patrol Tactical Team known as BORTAC provided “advanced search capabilities and operational support” in the hunt for Hardin, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said. Its members are experienced in navigating complex terrain, the agency said. The Ozark Mountains region is known for its rugged terrain. Searchers had been using bloodhounds, officers on horseback, drones and helicopters in their hunt for Hardin since he escaped.
