The newly released Bodycam film material shows the moment when the mayor of New Jersey Gina Laplaca comes and begins to cry while he is arrested because he is supposed to drive drunk with her toddler at St. Patrick’s Day.
On 5:40 p.m. at 5:40 p.m., the policemen turned to the mayor of Lumberton Township in the entrance of her house after a concerned resident called 911 to report their unpredictable driving, which shows the film material published by the Lumberton police.
Officers get out of a patrol car and wait for the 45-year-old democratic mayor to take her son, whom she had just picked up from the daycare center, out of his car seat.
“Are you all right?” An officer asks the mayor while lifting the toddler out of her BMW sedan
“Yes, that’s me,” replies Laplaca – just to lose her balance immediately and stagger into your car.
They then ask police officers about their side mirror, which is completely crushed according to the film material.
Laplaca tells the officials that her mirror had been damaged, but then she mentions that she had hit something before she was added vague: “I don’t know.”
The officers then make them carry out field soberness tests where they can be stumbled again when asked to stand on one leg.
Laplaca then begins to cry as officers put them in handcuffs, as the film material shows.
“I’m sorry,” she said to the officials.
During the examination of Laplaca’s car, the officers allegedly found a water bottle filled with alcohol and a small spirits bottle.
It was arrested and accused of being driven under the influence.
The police also accuse Laplaca of ruthlessly driving a child’s well -being and endangered, as can be seen from the court files shown by the post office.
It was released with a summons to appear in court on April 28th.
