Deputies in Cocke County, Tennessee are searching for four inmates on the run after escaping through a hole behind a jail toilet.  The Cocke County Sheriff’s Office says six inmates initially escaped on Christmas morning but two were captured. The remaining four remain on the run, with one of the men considered dangerous to the public.  Police say a toilet in the jail had rusted bolts and there was damage to the concrete.
