SHOCKING! Lumberton Mayor's DUI Arrest & Child Endangerment - The Full Story!

!

The quiet town of Lumberton, New Jersey, has been rocked by a shocking scandal involving its mayor, Gina LaPlaca. On Monday, March 17th, 2025, LaPlaca was arrested and charged with driving under the influence (DUI), reckless driving, and the incredibly serious charge of endangering the welfare of a child. The details are disturbing, and the community is reeling.

According to police reports and witness accounts, LaPlaca was observed driving erratically, nearly striking a utility pole. A concerned citizen captured the incident on video, providing crucial evidence for the subsequent investigation. Police arrived at LaPlaca's Lumberton home around 6:00 PM, where they allegedly found her with an open container of alcohol in her vehicle. Even more alarmingly, her two-year-old child was also in the car at the time.

LaPlaca reportedly admitted to officers that she had been drinking before picking up her child from daycare. This admission, coupled with the witness testimony and physical evidence, led to her immediate arrest. The severity of the charges underscores the potential danger LaPlaca placed her child in by driving under the influence.

The aftermath has been a whirlwind of public reaction and media coverage. LaPlaca's husband, Jason Carty, released a statement confirming her struggles with addiction and her commitment to seeking treatment. He pleaded for privacy and compassion, particularly considering the impact on their teenage child who is exposed to online criticism. He stated that LaPlaca recently resigned her position as business administrator for Neptune Township for political reasons.

Local residents have expressed mixed reactions. While some acknowledge that everyone makes mistakes and deserves support, others express outrage at the potential harm caused and the perceived lack of accountability for someone in a position of power. One resident commented, "You don't really know what anyone is going through behind closed doors," but also acknowledged the severity of the situation and the potential consequences for others charged with similar crimes.

LaPlaca's court appearance is scheduled for April 28th. The outcome of this case will undoubtedly have significant consequences for her political career and her personal life. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of driving under the influence and the importance of seeking help for addiction.

This unfolding situation is far from over. We will continue to update this story as more information becomes available. Stay tuned for further developments.
