Final prisoner caught in Florida after peanut butter escape

An Alabama inmate on the run for more than two days is back behind bars, but this time, in Martin County, Florida.

The smudged peanut butter made the number resemble the ones above cell doors, the newspaper reported. An inexperienced guard in a control room thought he was opening a cell, but the number released a door to the outside. Instead, inmates walked right through the door to make their escape.

Eleven of the inmates, some who had been jailed on such charges as robbery, attempted murder and domestic violence, were apprehended within 12 hours, all in the vicinity of the jail.

According to reports from the Walker County Alabama Sheriff's Office, the inmates took advantage of a new guard by using peanut butter to hide an exit door number. "But these people are insane like a fox".

Kilpatrick's mother told CBS 42 that she received a phone call from her son shortly after he escaped, but she had no idea about his plans. His mistake was coming to Martin County.

Snyder praised his department and other agencies for using a "good tactical approach" once they located the home in Tequesta, where a vehicle with an Alabama license plate was parked outside. Kilpatrick - initially jailed in Alabama on charges of possessing drugs and paraphernalia - now faces prosecution on much tougher crimes.

Sheriff James Underwood of Walker County, where Kilpatrick escaped, said, "Oh, it's a great feeling".

Kilpatrick is expected to appear in court in Stuart, Florida, Wednesday afternoon, and will eventually be returned to Alabama.
