The New Jersey State Police Hazmat Unit was called to the home and discovered materials, chemicals and instruments consistent with a methamphetamine laboratory in the basement and a shed on the property, prosecutors said. The investigators also determined that Walls had books related to making meth, explosives and poison, they said.
Officers on scene Saturday night also recovered a stash of weapons left in open and unsecured safe, prosecutors said. Two long guns, four handguns, eight high-capacity magazines and lots of ammunition were reportedly recovered.
“The officers in our agency risk their lives daily to protect and serve our residents. It is disappointing beyond measure that one of our officers could have risked the safety of his family and neighbors by engaging in such dangerous conduct. This officer’s actions do not reflect the moral compass of our officers or this agency,” Acting Long Branch Police Chief Frank Rizzuto said.
