The incident happened around 7:30 P.M. Monday night at the Grundy County jail in Altamont, Tennessee.
Grundy County Sheriff Robert Meeks said the jailer was putting an inmate back into a cell when the four suspects forced him to the floor, took his keys and escaped.
The Sheriff said despite the fact that the escapees were in street clothes, he believed they would be recaptured quickly because they were all local.
Three of the four men had been arrested for manufacturing methamphetamine, and the other was in jail on a theft charge.
The Sheriff said the escapees were not considered dangerous.
