A New Jersey mayor accused of drunk driving allegedly drove her toddler home from day care on St. Patrick’s Day, nearly crashing on the road only days after resigning from her job with another town.

Lumberton Township leader Gina LaPlaca was arrested for her alleged booze-induced stunt on March 17 after she picked up her 2-year-old son from day care.

The 45-year-old Democrat was allegedly captured on video by another driver swerving all over the road, nearly crashing into a utility pole before the footage was shared with police, WPVI reported, citing charging documents.

Police traced the car back to LaPlaca’s house, where they met the mayor around 6 p.m. Monday.

What a complete POS. She needs to resign. Is Lumberton a big lib town?

[No name given]

I’d say the size of a small city. And yes, the sooner the mayor resigns the better.

A young idiot with addiction problems but she's getting the help she needs so all is well apparently. Nothing says transportation like DUI and buttplug.

[Leaning Right]

LaPlaca is a Democrat. Democrats don’t resign after being caught doing something outrageous.

Instead they issue a semi-apology. Within that weak apology is a suggestion that they are really the victim here.

Child abuse. The Book, throw it.

Bit early to be drunk isn't it? Must've been drunk at work too before she left.

toddler in the car? That’s much more serious.
