Stephen Grant had been the subject of a manhunt since police discovered what they believe to be the torso and other body parts of his wife, Tara Lynn Grant, in and around the couple's house in a suburb of Detroit.
Grant was arrested in Bliss Township in northern Michigan, some 225 miles from his home, after an air and ground search by local, state and federal agencies, according to the Emmet County sheriff's department. (Watch why police call Grant 'elusive' Video)
Officials said he was not dressed for the weather, with overnight temperatures in the area in the teens and 20s, and he did not struggle.
"He was not in the condition to run anymore or obviously to flee," Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel said.
Grant was being treated Sunday for hypothermia and possible frostbite at Northern Michigan Hospital in Petoskey, and was in stable condition, said Dr. John Bednar. Grant was cooperative and expected to make a full recovery, except for his feet, Bednar said.
His lawyer, David Griem, said on Saturday that he feared his client was suicidal, but Hackel said there was no indication that Grant tried to commit suicide.
Griem said Sunday that he was withdrawing his representation of Grant. He said he wasn't aware if Grant had another lawyer.
"If I can't give a client all of my blood, sweat and tears, it's time for that client to find a new attorney and time for me to move on down the road," said Griem, adding that he was both surprised and relieved that Grant hadn't killed himself.
Hackel said Grant apparently fled on his own. "I don't believe he's had any help since Friday night," he said.
A truck that police believe Grant drove from his home was found Saturday night near Carp Lake, close to the bridge linking Michigan's Lower and Upper Peninsulas.
The crew of a Coast Guard helicopter helped lead ground searchers to Grant after spotting fresh footprints in the snow of a wooded area, said Lt. Jeremy Loeb of the Coast Guard Air Station in Traverse City.
Grant didn't say anything when he was hoisted into the helicopter. "He wasn't doing very well medically," Loeb said. "He didn't have a lot of clothing on that would protect him from the elements."
Hackel said Grant apparently fled on his own. "I don't believe he's had any help since Friday night," he said.
An arrest warrant was issued Saturday charging Grant with murder, disinterment and mutilation.
Grant, 37, who had maintained his innocence in his wife's disappearance, went missing before police searched his home Friday and Saturday in Washington Township, about 30 miles outside Detroit.
Searchers found the torso in the garage and what were thought to be other parts of Tara Grant's body in a nearby park. The search for evidence and other remains resumed Sunday. (Watch neighbors describe the Grants' relationship Video)
The body had not been positively identified as of late Saturday, but the sheriff has said he was certain it was Tara Grant's. An autopsy was scheduled.
Tara Grant was last seen February 9, and Stephen Grant reported her missing five days later. Police say the day the 34-year-old businesswoman went missing, the Grants argued over her frequent business trips abroad.
If convicted of his wife's murder, Grant could be sentenced to life in prison without parole.
The Grants' two children, a 6-year-old girl and a 4-year-old boy, were staying with relatives.
