Randall Jeppesen reportingAn entire Pleasant Grove family is in jail after police say they were caught distributing methamphetamine.
After watching the Martinez-Carranza family for some time, the Utah County Major Crimes Task Force decided it was time to raid their home.
Inside the house, Lt. Richard Ferguson, of the Utah County Major Crimes Task Force, said they found meth ready to be sold, a stolen gun and $40,000 in cash. Ferguson said the money was hidden in furniture and dishes throughout the residence.
In all, they arrested everyone living in the home: the mother, father and their two sons.
Ferguson says the entire family was in the country illegally, and they came for one purpose only and that was to sell drugs.
