The mayor of Lumberton, New Jersey was charged with DUI and child endangerment this week, court documents show. A criminal complaint filed in a Burlington County court says Gina LaPlaca, 45, was seen on video driving a vehicle and not staying in her lane. She almost collided with a utility pole as well, the document said, citing a video from a witness.
A member of the Democratic Party, she previously ran for a seat in the New Jersey General Assembly to represent the 8th District. She lost that 2019 race.
LaPlaca also previously served as business administrator of Neptune Township in Ocean County, but recently quit, according to the Asbury Park Press newspaper.
