A New Jersey police officer is facing up to 60 years in prison after authorities discovered a meth lab in his basement. Officers were called to the Long Branch home of
Christopher Walls, 50, on Saturday (May 15) because of a domestic disturbance.

They searched the home and found the ingredients and equipment used to manufacture the illegal drug in his basement and a shed. They also found books on making meth, explosives, and poison.
Officers also recovered two long guns and four handguns which were being stored in an opened gun safe that was accessible to children.
