Police respond incident at LaPlaca home, charge husband with strangulation [View all]
An alleged disturbance at the home of Lumberton Township Committeewoman Gina LaPlaca early this morning led to criminal charges against her controversial husband, Jason Carty, a member of the Rancocas Valley Regional High School Board of Education and a veteran Democratic operative.
The incident comes five days before a fierce Democratic primary in which LaPlaca is on the ballot for re-election, and three months after she pleaded guilty to child endangerment stemming from a 2025 drunk-driving incident with her young child in the car.
Carty was charged with aggravated assault by strangulation, an indictable offense, and harassment with the intent to cause alarm, a petty disorderly persons offense.
A local law enforcement official, who is familiar with the matter and spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Lumberton police responded to a call around 6:45 AM and asked Carty to leave the home. Carty was not taken into custody, and charges were filed later.
