The dozen inmates who escaped an Alabama county jail Sunday night did so by tricking a new employee by using peanut butter cover a door's number.

Walker County Sheriff James Underwood said the inmates concealed the number ID'ing a door leading to outside of the jail with peanut butter they saved and concealed in their cells. MLive sister-publication AL.com and the Associated Press report an inmate asked a new employee to let him back into his cell, but was actually tricking the jailer to open the door leading to freedom.

The group is said to have scattered after the door opened, throwing their orange jumpsuits to the wind and climbing a razor wire fence using blankets.

"It may sound crazy, but these people are crazy like a fox," the sheriff said, via A.P. They "scheme all the time to con us and our employees at the jail. You have to stay on your toes. This is one time we slipped up. I'm not going to make any excuses.

"They took advantage of a young fellow that hadn't been here very long," and was said to be monitoring 150 inmates Sunday night.

A manhunt continues for the last fugitive from the cooperative escape two days layer. Bradley Andrew Kilpatrick, who was jailed for possession of a controlled substance, drug paraphernalia and marijuana is the inmate still on the run.

Walker County, Alabama is located to the north of Tuscaloosa, and on the northwest outskirts of Birmingham.
