A 28-year-old North Carolina man is facing a murder charge after allegedly stabbing his wife in bed — but the newlywed claims he doesn’t remember carrying out the alleged crime because he might have done it in his sleep, PEOPLE confirms.
Matthew Phelps, of Raleigh, called police distraught early Friday morning, declaring that his wife, Lauren, was dead on their bedroom floor covered in blood.
“I had a dream and then I turned on the lights and she’s dead on the floor,” he says in a 911 call obtained by PEOPLE. “I have blood all over me and there’s a bloody knife on the bed and I think I did it. I can’t believe this.”
He told the dispatcher through tears that his wife wasn’t breathing and that he was afraid to get close to her — “I’m so scared,” he said.
Phelps is charged with murder and is being held at Wake County Detention Center without bail, a jail spokesperson tells PEOPLE. As police work to determine the circumstances around Lauren’s death, Phelps suggested during the 911 call that cold medicine he took the night before might have led to his alleged actions.

Yup, that whole incident has dropped right off the face of the earth, just like the victim, who's name was Justine Damond.
It all just "went away."
He is going to blame Tylenol mixed with the 1st gen antihistamine chlorpheniramine? He should have gone for the “Ambien Defense” I hear that stuff can give you pretty impressive sleepwalking/delusions!
not sure he’ll make a particularly good, wonderful pastor..?
That’s what I thought when I read the title of the article.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop taking cold medicine.
Looks like it’ll get dropped completely sometime during the holiday rush.

He obviously did not think this trough very well!
Really. Does he think God believes his story?
Wow, what a great ide......Wow that’s pretty crazy what he did.
Yep, I’ve been wondering about it myself a few times.
Sayeed Noor will get his.
Damn that NiQuil!
This criminal should just take two ounces of fentanyl and see if his story changes.
i wonder if you can blame Aspercreme for shite like that?
Possible side effects: Drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, upset stomach, nausea, nervousness, constipation, maniacal somnambulistic knife murder, or dry mouth/nose/throat may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
People write those things for a reason, you know.
Slyfox to the witness stand! Slyfox to the witness stand!
