MARTIN COUNTY, Ala. (WTXL) - The last of the 12 inmates who escaped from an Alabama jail Sunday night has been captured.

24-year old Brady Kilpatrick was taken down by a law enforcement team just after 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Martin County Sheriff William Snyder says three other people at the home were also arrested, including Kilpatrick's sister, her fiance and a friend of the fiance.

They are facing aiding and abetting charges.

According to reports from the Walker County Alabama Sheriff's Office, the inmates took advantage of a new guard by using peanut butter to conceal an exit door number.

When the inmates called for the guard to open the door and let them in a cell, the guard inadvertently opened the exit door allowing the inmates to escape. Martin County officials say they won't let that happen again.

The three people who helped Kilpatrick once he was out were also arrested.
