COCONUT CREEK, FL – Coconut Creek police conducted a search warrant at a spa on Coconut Creek Parkway, a police report said.
Inside Blue Lotus Spa on Aug. 13, they found marijuana and methamphetamine, and arrested Brandon Williams, 37, and Xiaoqin Yu, 54, on drug charges, the report said.

According to the police report, Williams told officers he and his wife, Yu, were living at the spa at 3880 Coconut Creek Parkway, suite 303, and regularly using drugs there.
