New Jersey Mayor Gina LaPlaca was arrested for drunk driving on St. Patrick's Day. Police bodycam footage shows her being pulled over after receiving multiple calls about erratic driving. Her son was in the car with her at the time. The footage shows a damaged side mirror and LaPlaca failing field sobriety tests. Officers found a water bottle smelling of alcohol in her purse. She was charged with DUI, reckless driving, and endangering the welfare of a child. LaPlaca has refused to resign despite calls from constituents. Her husband stated she is in inpatient treatment and that the media coverage is harming their toddler.
