Inmates at a Walker County jail changed the numbers above a door with peanut butter to fool a young guard and exit through an outside door. They fled in orange uniforms, used blankets to climb razor wire, and were mostly captured within eight hours. One inmate injured his thumb. The group ranged from 18 to 30, facing charges from disorderly conduct to attempted murder. Bradley Kilpatrick, 24, remained at large with a state helicopter aiding the manhunt. The escape occurred Sunday evening, with peanut butter sandwiches among the jail diet.
