Donald Hargrove, 22, and Daniel Petty, 25, were reported missing about 3:30 a.m. Sunday following a bed check at the Texarkana Re gional Correctional Center, where they had been assigned to perform maintenance and landscaping work in and around public buildings, Da vid White, a spokesman for the Ar kansas Corrections Department, said. Greenville, Texas, police spotted the men about 9 a.m. in a car match ing the description of one reported stolen from a home in Texarkana, which straddles the borders of both states. Police began to chase them, and the driver of the car lost control, swerved off a road and came to a stop, White said. The two inmates, who were not injured, and an un identified female companion, were taken to the city jail in Greenville. “Obviously, there was a security breakdown,” White said about the escape. An investigation was under way later Sunday to determine how the men escaped the minimum secu rity building that also houses city and police departments. The prisoners were to be re turned to Arkansas later Sunday. Petty was serving a seven-year sentence for theft from Miller County. He had been imprisoned in May 1984 and was to have been eligi ble for parole in July 1985. Hargrove, who was serving a nine-year prison sentence for va rious theft convictions from Garland County, was to have been eligible for parole in January 1986. Hargrove was imprisoned in February 1980.
