A Monroe County woman is charged with murdering her husband.

Monroe County officials arrested Karen S. Coffman on Wednesday. She's charged with first-degree murder in the death of John W. Coffman.

Last month, Karen Coffman called 911 saying her husband wasn't breathing after she woke up from a nap.

Initially, investigators believed John Coffman overdosed on his pain medication, but officials say new evidence led to the arrest of his wife. They're not saying what that evidence is.
