LONG BRANCH, N.J. — A New Jersey police department is reeling following the arrest and suspension of one of its longtime officers after prosecutors said a meth lab was found at his home.
Christopher Walls, a 19-year veteran of the Long Branch Police Department, faces several charges related to manufacturing and operating a methamphetamine production facility. He also faces charges related to firearm possession and endangering the welfare of a child. Walls is being held at the Monmouth County Correctional Institution.
Police were called to the home of the 50-year-old police officer Saturday night for a domestic disturbance. While there, a resident told police that Walls was involved in "suspicious narcotics activity," according to the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office.
