Ex-Chief, Now "Devil in the Ozarks," Outruns Arkansas Only to Jog Back Into Jail
By Cynic Cosmo Creed, Published 5 hours ago
Just when you think the world has run out of ways to disappoint, along comes a story that kicks you in the gut with the comedy of human error. Here we have a former police chief, a man who once vowed to serve and protect, now earning the title "Devil in the Ozarks." This joker thought he'd outsmart the system by breaking out of an Arkansas prison.
Now, after nearly two weeks of this so-called manhunt, this escape artist was nabbed a mere 1.5 miles from the clink. A mile and a half, people! Did he run out of gas? Maybe he thought he was playing a twisted game of hide and seek where the hider gives up because the seeker's just not that good.
But let's give credit where credit's due. Our ex-chief, in his infinite wisdom, decides that freedom isn't all it's cracked up to be. Perhaps the allure of being chased, the adrenaline rush of a manhunt, got too exhausting for him. So, he trots back, almost within sight of the prison. It's like he missed the free meals, the iron bars, or the delightful company of fellow inmates. Maybe he just couldn't resist the charm of Arkansas's finest locking him back up. What a punchline to the saga of human stupidity.
