Three missing kids in California were found at a Lathrop home containing meth and other drugs, according to San Joaquin sheriff's deputies

Officials said they stopped the car in east Stockton and arrested the children's father, 49-year-old Michael Pinon, a passenger in the car and the driver 36-year-old Laura Burkett. 

Shortly after the arrest, officials found the kids ages nine, 11 and 16, and their mother, 35-year-old Karri Dominguez, in a house on the 1700 block of Stone Cellar Way.
