WEST FARGO, N.D. (KFGO) – A West Fargo man is facing a murder charge in the death of his wife.

Charging documents indicate that 31-year-old Spencer Moen told responding officers that his wife, Sonja, decided to sleep in the bathtub and was unresponsive when he woke up.

Investigators say she had significant bruising on the left side of her face and forehead and that her eyes appeared to be swollen shut.

Moen said an argument started after she picked him up from golfing in Mapleton. He said they were both intoxicated and she tripped coming up the steps from the garage into the house, and “Face Planted.” An autopsy showed that she died of blunt force trauma to the head and had at least one broken rib.
