COCKE COUNTY, Tenn. — Four inmates are at-large after allegedly using a leaky toilet to make an escape from a Tennessee jail by removing the toilet from the wall, officials said.

Six inmates from the Cocke County Jail Annex in Newport made the escape Christmas Day around 1:30 a.m., the Cocke County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement, but two of them have since been captured.

The early-morning getaway was prompted by a water leak behind a toilet, the sheriff’s office said.
