Peanut butter to be banned from state's prisons to prevent escapes

Tennessee prison officials are banning peanut butter because they say inmates are hiding drugs, cell phones and even guns in the 18-ounce jars.

The ban comes as a result of an inmate escape last August when George Hyatte and his wife ambushed two prison guards and escaped from a court hearing at the Roane County courthouse.

An investigation revealed Hyatte smuggled a cell phone into prison and used it to coordinate the breakout.
