CALEDONIA TWP. - The Shiawassee County Sheriff's Department announced this morning that a man who was stabbed during a domestic disturbance Sunday night has died, making his death the first homicide in Shiawassee County since the arson death of Greg Shire in July 2007.

According to a press release issued by Sheriff Jon Wilson just after 11 a.m. today, police say the estranged husband of a Caledonia Towship woman forced his way into his former residence about 10:40 p.m. Sunday and stabbed another male who was inside the home.

Police said they arrested the suspect near St. Johns about 3 a.m. today. The man is being held in the Shiawassee County Jail pending arraignment.

Shiawassee 66th District Court officials said they did not have an arraignment scheduled as of 11:30 a.m.
