"A New Jersey police officer has been arrested for allegedly running a meth lab out of his home, according to prosecutors. Christopher Walls, 50, was taken into police custody after his colleagues at the Long Branch Police Department responded to a domestic disturbance call at his residence on Saturday night. While investigating the scene, responding officers were told by another resident at Walls' home that the 19-year veteran was "involved in suspicious narcotics activity" -- Upon further investigation, authorities found "materials, chemicals and instruments consistent with a methamphetamine laboratory in both the basement and in a shed on the property.
Walls also had an unsecured gun safe containing two long guns, four handguns, eight high-capacity magazines, and a large quantity of ammunition that was accessible to a child living in the residence, according to officials. Walls faces a maximum of 60 years in state prison if convicted of all his charges."
This is why good cops matter.......the officers involved could have easily just ignored the person telling them about the meth lab in the basement; or just looked the other way after seeing it....but they did the right thing.....Keeping bad cops in your ranks is a detriment to good cops and the community at large....
