Lumberton Mayor Gina LaPlaca (D) arrested
Lumberton Mayor Gina LaPlaca was arrested today and charged with endangering her child after being arrested at her home earlier this evening following allegations of a hit-and-run with her son in the car.
LaPlaca, who has a history of legal issues, including charges of assault, was fired from her job as the Neptune Township administrator earlier this month.
The Queen of Toxicity allegedly hit a car while driving in Mount Laurel and left the scene of the accident. Sources said she had been drinking. A Lumberton police officer she had hired was sent to her home to arrest her. Records show she was charged with Endangering-Abuse/Neglect of a Child by Caretaker and Cruelty and Neglect of Children
In 2023, while serving as deputy mayor, LaPlaca was arrested for assaulting her husband, Jason Carty, a controversial political activist. Carty was also arrested. He later accepted responsibility, and the charges against LaPlaca were dropped.
