A New Jersey police officer was arrested after a meth lab was found inside his home, prosecutors said.
Police discovered the meth lab in the man's basement after responding to a domestic disturbance call at his home Saturday evening, according to the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office.
Officer Christopher Walls, who had been serving on the police force for 19 years, was arrested Sunday and suspended without pay.
A New Jersey State Police hazmat team found instruments and ingredients needed to make methamphetamine in Wall's basement and in a shed located on the property, prosecutors said. Police found meth residue and books about making methamphetamine, explosives and poison on the property as well.
