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. The toddler was still strapped in a car seat in the rear of the car.
Officers also discovered an open container of alcohol, the outlet reported.
She allegedly admitted to drinking while driving and was put through a field sobriety test and was arrested and charged. with driving under the influence, according to the outlet.
Police also charged the Democrat mayor with reckless driving and endangering the welfare of a child, according to court records viewed by The NY Post.
She was released with a summons to appear in court on April 28.
LaPlaca’s husband defended his wife, saying she had been struggling with addiction and is getting the needed help, calling on critics to not attack their children’s mother. Evidently she is not actually getting the needed help because it isn't apparently helping.
“Please ignore the exaggerated political hyperbole and keep in mind her passion for helping others. This should not erase all the things she has accomplished for our community,” Jason Carty, her husband wrote on Facebook.

Driving drunk is not helping others, and especially with her child in the car. One might think that it's inexcusable.
LaPlaca shares a toddler son with Carty and has a teenage stepson from her husband’s previous girlfriend.
She was first elected to the Lumberton Township Committee in 2020.
The five-member panel first chose LaPlaca to serve a one-year term as mayor in 2021. She was re-elected the past three years because she likes to party hearty.
