Two babies were found living at a home where drugs were being sold, according to Tulare County sheriff's detectives.

Tulare County detectives served a drug-related search warrant at a home in the 100 block of Northeast First Street in Visalia.

During the search, detectives say they saw Roger Jenkins Lee, 47, trying to "throw away evidence."

Detectives found a small amount of methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia, scales, and other items associated with drug sales. A marijuana plant, a sawed-off rifle with a homemade silencer and a large-capacity magazine were also found.

Two babies were living at the home, surrounded by drugs and weapons, detectives said. Detectives didn't say how old the children are, but described the children as babies.

Detectives arrested Lee, Marta Medrano Leon, 31, and Maria Medrano, 49, at the home. The women are sisters and Marta Medrano is the mother of the two children, detectives said.

Detectives didn't say how Lee was connected to the women.

All three suspects were booked into Tulare County Pretrial Facility on suspicion of child endangerment, possession of a silencer, possession of a high-capacity magazine, possession of a controlled substance, possession of paraphernalia, maintaining a residence for narcotic use, attempting to destroy evidence, being a felon in possession of a firearm, and being a felon in possession of ammunition.
