Police: Michigan Homicide Suspect Spotted in Maine

Law enforcement authorities say a man wanted in connection with the death of his wife in Michigan has been spotted in Maine.

The Allegan County Sheriff's office in Michigan says Maine law enforcement officials have received several possible sightings of Harold "Butch" Knight in Maine since Jan. 16.

Maine officials say they are confident the 66-year-old Knight is in Maine.

Michigan police have issued a murder arrest warrant for Knight, for allegedly strangling his wife, 48-year-old Sara Lee Knight, at their home last week.

The couple has ties to Maine, having lived in the town of Turner for several years.

Police said Knight could be driving a light green 2009 Subaru Forrester with Michigan license plate GM74A. He is described as 6-foot-4 and 245 pounds.
