AZUSA, Calif. -- A Southern California man has been arrested on suspicion of putting poison in his wife's cereal.

Los Angeles County jail records show 43-year-old Fernando Porras of Azusa was being held on $1 million bail Saturday on suspicion of the attempted murder of his 51-year-old wife, Fernanda.
