Help I need out of my lease due to my roommates threats and illegal activity!?

My son and I moved into an townhouse with my roommate and her daughter. Well when things started going wrong I asked her to find someone to sublease. She said she would but it’s been over 3 months, but she won’t allow me to find someone for her either. I figured out she is taking advantage of the situation, because her daughter is now sleeping in my room which I’m still paying for. She has 3 DWI’s and would take my car without asking (which I have proof of via text message). It was when I realized she was taking and selling drugs in our home that I took my son and moved in with my boyfriend even though I am still on the lease. I told her I couldn’t pay rent anymore starting the next month so I was gonna try to find someone to sublease and she said too bad you’re responsible for rent and I don’t have to find a sublet, and she threatened to throw my cat out (which I have proof of via text message). That night I moved ALL of my blongings including my cat. I called my landlord and told him what was going on and he told me my only option was to find someone to sublease, and if I knew of illegal activity going on there to alert the authorities. The only problem is I can’t prove that she’s selling. If I call the cops they will search our house and even though none of my things are there I can still get in trouble for her illegal activity. So I don’t know what to do. My family along with all of our belongings have bee out for 2 months now because we don’t feel safe there and I don’t trust leaving my blongings there. Oh and did I mention she told me my boyfriend and his son aren’t welcome even though I would come home to her friends there without her there whom I’m sure were up to no good. Bottom line I feel like I should be let out of my lease… Any advice I feel I should be let out of the lease without penalty. Or if there’s any other course of action please let me know! I am broke from paying double rent!
