Lumberton Mayor Gina LaPlaca (D) arrested [View all]

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.
