GRAND JUNCTION -- A former Fennville man who donned a guard uniform Friday and walked out of an Arkansas prison with another convicted killer was seen Monday in northern Van Buren County, officials said.
Calvin Adams, 39, who was serving a life sentence without chance of parole for capital murder, was spotted at 11 a.m. Monday talking to a relative at a residence east of Grand Junction, according to a dispatch from Portage police. Adams and Jeffery Grinder, 32, who also was serving a life sentence without parole for capital murder, escaped from the Cummins Unit in Lincoln County, Ark.
Surveillance footage shows Adams and Grinder in the prison library wearing inmate uniforms, Arkansas Department of Correction spokeswoman Dina Tyler said, then a few minutes later shows them leaving in guard uniforms. The two were able "to walk out of the main building and out the entry building without being challenged" during a change of shifts at the prison at 6:18 p.m. CDT on Friday, she said.
