A California dermatologist has been arrested after her husband shared "compelling" video evidence that she was poisoning him, police tell Fox News Digital.   

Yue Yu, 45, of Irvine, was taken into custody Thursday at the home she has shared with her spouse of 10 years, the Irvine Police Department said in a statement.   

"He became ill and his condition worsened over the past month and as a result of him examining his routine he grew suspicious of his wife and placed a video camera in the home they shared and discovered evidence he believes supports the fact that she was poisoning him," Irvine police Lt. Bill Bingham told Fox News Digital on Monday. 

Bingham would not disclose how the husband allegedly was being poisoned, but regarding the footage he brought to police, said "we found it to be compelling."
