Dr. Jack Chen, her 53-year-old husband, filed for an order of protection Friday,
"I am fearful of being in the same home and in the presence of respondent due to respondent’s recorded attempts to poison me with Drano," Chen’s request for a domestic violence restraining order reads.
Mission Viejo dermatologist Yue Yu, 45, was arrested last Thursday for poisoning her husband of 10 years.
According to Irvine Police Department, Yu's husband, Dr. Jack Chen had fallen ill over the course of a month and had grown suspicious that the illness came at the hand of his wife, who he believed was poisoning him.
"He started to have unusual symptoms back in March and April," said Hittelman. "He went in to get checked by a doctor and found that he had had physical effects. He started to then connect the dots."
Aside from the chemical taste in his mouth, Chen was diagnosed with stomach ulcers, gastritis and inflammation of the esophagus.
Drano is a brand-name chemical drain cleaner that the U.S. government describes as "very dangerous" if ingested, inhaled or placed in contact with the skin or eyes.
"On three separate occasions of I have video of her pouring Draino (sic) taken from under our kitchen sink and pouring it into my lemonade (I drink it hot)," he wrote in a petition to the court.
Chen put the cameras in place after becoming suspicious in March and April, after noticing "a chemical taste" in his lemonade and being diagnosed with ulcers, gastritis and esophagitis, according to the filing.
In one instance, he said, he covered his drink with plastic wrap – and she allegedly peeled it off, spiked the drink, and replaced the covering.
According to the Irvine Police Department, Dr. Jack Chen, became sick over the course of a month and had grown suspicious that the illness was the result of his wife poisoning him.
