Twelve inmates escaped from an Alabama jail Sunday night (July 30) after using peanut butter to obscure a door number and trick a young jailer, AL.com reported. Of the 12 escapees, all but one was back in custody Monday afternoon.

Brady Andrew Kilpatrick, a Cordova man jailed on drug possession charges, remained at large, the website reported. The jailer opened a door to the outside thinking it was a cell door, Underwood said, because the number had been covered with peanut butter.

"Changing numbers on doors with peanut butter -- It may sound crazy, but these kinds of people are crazy like a fox." Underwood told a news conference. "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."

"Escapes happen," Underwood said. "We've got some evil people down here, and they scheme all the time to con us and our employees at the jail. You've got to stay on your toes. This is one time we slipped up. I'm not going to make any excuses."

The inmates scaled a 12-foot fence topped with razor wire after walking out.
