Cory McMillen, 36, and Michelle McMillen, 38, both of Fayetteville, were charged Monday with storage of a firearm to protect minors.
The charges stem from an incident that occurred over the weekend, officials said.
According to officials, it's the second time in a month the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office has investigated a child in possession of a firearm.
"The Sheriff’s Office would like to remind everyone that owns a weapon to please be responsible," Sheriff Ennis W. Wright posted on Facebook. "If you need a gun lock to safely store your weapon, please come to the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office located at 131 Dick Street and pick up a gun lock free of charge."
