Gina LaPlaca, the mayor of Lumberton Township, was arrested for DUI after allegedly driving her 2-year-old son home from daycare while intoxicated on St. Patrick's Day. Captured on video swerving dangerously close to utility poles, police later found an open container of alcohol in her vehicle. Following her admission of drinking and failing a field sobriety test, LaPlaca faced charges including reckless driving and jeopardizing a child's welfare. Her husband defended her, citing struggles with addiction and asking for empathy regarding her past contributions to the community.
LaPlaca allegedly confessed to consuming alcohol while driving, subsequently failing a field sobriety test, leading to her arrest and multiple charges, including DUI and endangerment.
The mayor's husband acknowledged her struggles with addiction and urged the public to consider her contributions to the community rather than focusing solely on this incident.
