CHARLESTON, Maine (AP) The search is continuing in Maine for a convicted murderer who escaped from prison.

Corrections Commissioner Joseph Fitzpatrick says 65-year-old Arnold Nash was last seen Thursday evening in the minimum security unit at the Mountain View Correction Facility in Charleston.

Authorities say the search continued Friday into the evening and Saturday. A dispatcher at the Bangor State Police said Saturday afternoon that there were no updates.

Nash was last seen wearing blue jeans and a light blue shirt. Officials say he’d twice escaped years before from different facilities.

He was serving a 45-year sentence for murdering a 58-year-old man in a cabin in North Sullivan. He was scheduled for release next year.

Officials say Nash should not be approached if seen. Anyone with information is asked to contact local police.
