LaPlaca blows off court hearing to attend Knicks parade
Embattled Lumberton Township Committeewoman Gina LaPlaca failed to show up at a court hearing this morning because she was in New York to attend a ticker-tape parade celebrating the Knicks’ championship win.
Evesham Municipal Court Judge Adam Greenberg said his court staff indicated that LaPlaca never checked in, either in person or virtually, for her 10 AM hearing today. She faces charges of driving with a suspended driver’s license.
“It is now 11:08. We’re going to mark that as a failure to appear, and we’ll determine the status of it at the next particular hearing,” said Greenberg, who did not issue a bench warrant for her arrest.
LaPlaca quickly responded to a message left on her cell phone with a text message: “I’m at the Knicks parade. Whatever it is, I have no comment.”
