When you think of a family business you might think of a furniture store, a small-town car dealership or even a small shop where you build custom cabinets. Most people however probably do not think about a drug trafficking empire.

According to WABI TV 5,, that's exactly what authorities in Maine uncovered while executing a search warrant against Leann Johnson and her son Jeremiah Therrien. The Maine Department of Drug Enforcement entered the Presque Isle, Maine home on Monday following a months-long investigation. What they found was a pile of drugs and cash.

Maine Drug Enforcement agents found about $10,000 in cash, which they believe was profit from selling drugs. Additionally, authorities also seized over four pounds of crystal methamphetamine, which according to agents has a street value of more than a quarter of a million dollars.

Both were arrested and taken to the Aroostook County Jail. 44-year-old Leann Johnson is out on $10,000 bail. Her son, 23-year-old Jeremiah Therrien was denied bail until he could see a judge.

Remember, it's always safer to stick to cabinet making.
