Beach Haven Sgt. Andrew Wahlberg, 48, has been charged with child endangerment, authorities previously said. A 15-year-old was arrested with a 9mm Beretta handgun taken from Wahlberg at a Stafford park near an elementary school last month.

Wahlberg had dropped a bag of guns in his room after returning from a firearms range on May 18 before leaving home for a meeting, the outlet said, citing a criminal complaint.

In July, a 13-year-old posted a photo on social media while brandishing the officer's gun after sneaking into Wahlberg’s home and taking the weapon from an unlocked dresser, NJ Advance Media said.
