Overview
- The Burlington County Prosecutor's Office announced a grand jury indictment signed by Prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw.
- Authorities say LaPlaca was seen driving erratically and nearly hit a utility pole before admitting she had been drinking after picking up her child from day care.
- Police reported conducting field sobriety tests and said they found an open alcoholic beverage container in the vehicle.
- An arraignment is scheduled for Dec. 8 in New Jersey Superior Court in Mount Holly.
- Body-worn camera video reportedly shows the arrest with her 2-year-old in the backseat, and earlier FOX 29 sourcing claimed her blood-alcohol level was nearly four times the legal limit; she later completed 54 days of inpatient treatment as officials and residents pressed for her resignation.
