Punxsutawney Phil wanted by Pennsylvania sheriffs office

Pennsylvania police are looking for America's most famous groundhog, and they mean business.

The Monroe County Sheriffs Office has put Punxsutawney Phil on a wanted list.

Phil is wanted for deception.

Officials say he promised just six more weeks of winter, but that promise has expired and cold Pennsylvanians are demanding spring.
