A New Jersey police officer was arrested Sunday after authorities discovered a meth lab inside his home that he shared with a child, prosecutors said.

Walls, 50, was suspended without pay by the police department on Sunday, prosecutors said. He is being held at the Monmouth County jail pending a detention hearing. Prosecutors said the officers also found a"large open and unsecured gun safe" that contained two long guns, four handguns, eight high-capacity magazines and ammunition. The safe was accessible to a child living at the property.

The city's director of public safety will file disciplinary charges seeking to fire Walls, Long Branch Mayor John Pallone said Monday.
