INMATES USE PEANUT BUTTER IN MASS ALA. JAILBREAK

A group of Alabama inmates escaped a county jail by covering the numbers of an outside door with peanut butter, leading a new jail employee to believe it was a door leading to cells, a sheriff told reporters.

“He thought he was opening the cell door for this man to go in his cell, but in fact he opened up the outside door,” Walker County Sheriff James Underwood said about the jail employee.

All but one escapee, Brady Andrew Kilpatrick, were captured within hours, and Underwood said he believed Kilpatrick would be caught by day’s end.

Kilpatrick, 24, had been jailed on drug charges, the sheriff ’s office said on its Facebook page. The recaptured inmates had been jailed on a variety of charges, including two for attempted murder.
