ROCHESTER, Minn. (KVRR/KFGO) — Police in Rochester have arrested a former Mayo Clinic doctor for the poisoning death of his wife.

30-year-old Dr. Connor Bowman was arrested during a traffic stop in Rochester.

Bowman is accused of killing his 32-year-old wife, Betty, by using a combination of medications.
