Killer escapes from Arkansas prison again; 10 years earlier, he walked out dressed as guard
A Leachville man who 10 years ago wore a guard uniform and walked out of an Arkansas prison to flee a life sentence for capital murder has escaped again from a different detention facility, authorities said Monday.
Authorities said Calvin Adams, 49, escaped from the East Arkansas Regional Unit in Brickeys, about 30 miles southeast of Forrest City. He was discovered missing after officials conducted a unit-wide count, according to a statement released Monday morning by the state Department of Corrections.
Department spokeswoman Dina Tyler said she couldn't immediately confirm when authorities first noticed Adams was missing. She said she was first notified shortly after 5 a.m.
