12 inmates use peanut butter to make escape from jail
12 inmates escaped from a prison in Alabama over the weekend by
using peanut butter to trick the staffer into opening an alternate door.
The inmates were serving time in the Walker County Jail in Jasper,
Alabama when they hatched a plan to escape. A recently hired staff was
on duty when they took advantage of his lack of experience and carried
out their plot. The staff was in the control room keeping track of 150
inmates when they asked to have a door opened. What the staffer did not
know was that the inmates had used peanut butter from jailhouse
sandwiches to change the number over the door.
Walker County Sheriff James Underwood confirmed the incident at a news conference on Monday afternoon.
Underwood said: "They had changed the number
over the door with peanut butter, they hollered, 'hey, open the
door...,' but that door number was the outside door, and unbeknowingly
to him, he hit that lock and out the door they went,"
Underwood said during the escape the inmates
threw blankets over a razor wire fence so they could climb over. Two of
the inmates were hurt while fleeing the jail, and one is in the
hospital. 11 of the 12 inmates have since been caught, including the two
most serious offenders, the sheriff said.
Brady Andrew Kilpatrick, 24, is still at large
after breaking out of the jail in Jasper. Kilpatrick was in jail on
charges of possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug
paraphernalia and possession of marijuana, authorities said.
Underwood added: "We’ve got some evil people
down here. And they scheme all the time to con us and our employees here
at the jail. You have to stay on your toes. This is one time we slipped
up. I'm never going to make any excuses -- it was a human error that
caused this to happen."
