The niece of Vice President Joe Biden accepted a conditional dismissal deal on Wednesday after assaulting a police officer and refusing arrest last year, the New York Daily News reported.
Because she's currently at an in-patient treatment facility for anger management issues, Caroline Biden was not present at the court hearing where she avoided jail time.
Biden, 26, will have her case sealed and dismissed as long as she stays out of trouble for six months.
In September, police were called to her apartment after she and her roommate, Adrienne Reynolds, got in an argument over rent money. Once officers tried to intervene, she physically assaulted one of them and refused arrest.
According to prosecutors, they extended the plea deal because neither officer was injured and she agreed to remain in therapy for treatment.
Though she could not attend the hearing, the judge accepted her agreement after her lawyers showed a sworn affidavit that showed she would agree to the deal.
The vice president's niece was charged with obstructing governmental administration, resisting arrest, and harassment.
"I know my rights, I shouldn't be handcuffed. Don't touch me!," she reportedly said to the officers during the heated incident.
One of her attorneys, James Liguori, said Biden has been receiving "out-of-state" treatment but did not disclose where specifically.
"Obviously she's committed to getting better and we thank the District Attorney for the way they helped resolved this matter," Ligouri said. "She's truly sorry for what she did. There's no question of what went on and she's truly remorseful."
