December 31, 2010 4:55 PM ET

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - Santa Fe County deputies have arrested a man on an open count of murder in the death of his wife at their home south of Santa Fe.

The arrest came after 53-year-old Frank Gallegos called 911 late Wednesday to say he'd found his 50-year-old wife, Lisa, unresponsive at their home.

She was taken to the Santa Fe hospital, where she was pronounced dead Thursday.

Deputies say Gallegos acknowledged he and his wife were arguing before they went to sleep and that he had pulled her hair.

The Office of the Medical Investigator ruled her death a suspicious homicide after finding blunt-force injuries to her head.
