HUBBARD — An arrest was made as a Mahoning Valley massage spa was served with a search warrant Friday.

It was the second such raid in six months.

Furong Li, 55, of Flushing, New York, was arrested and charged with solicitation, promoting prostitution and practicing medicine without a license, according to a news release from the Hubbard City Police Department.

The warrant, served at the 3C Foot Spa on Youngstown Hubbard Road by city police in collaboration with the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force, resulted in officers recovering cellphones, computers, ledgers and cash.

The massage spa, located inside a building owned by Trumbull County Commissioner and former Hubbard Township Trustee Rick Hernandez, also was the focus of an August 2024 search warrant in collaboration with the task force. The August 2024 warrant came on the heels of a February 2023 investigation initiated by the city’s police department in which evidence of commercial sex trafficking was found and led to their request for assistance from the task force.

Hernandez said following the August raid that he reached out to Hubbard Mayor Ben Kyle and authorities inquiring about criminal activity, but found no linkage with the spa and crime. Hernandez ensured he would remove the spa if the investigation proved illicit activity.

Hernandez was not available for comment Friday evening.

“The Hubbard City Police (Department) truly appreciates the MVHTTF for their invaluable assistance in these cases,” Hubbard police Chief Robert Thompson said. “The police department has received positive feedback from community members for these efforts.”
