A niece of United States Vice President Joseph Biden was
charged on Tuesday with allegedly taking a swing at a New York City police
officer who was at the woman’s home to break-up a fight with a roommate, a
law-enforcement official said.
Caroline Biden was charged Tuesday afternoon with
obstructing government administration, resisting arrest and harassment, the
official said. She was scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday afternoon and could
not be reached for comment. It was unclear if she had retained an attorney.
Police were called to a Tribeca apartment just before 8 a.m.
regarding a dispute between Ms. Biden and a roommate, the official said.
When the officer got between the roommates to keep them
separated, Ms. Biden allegedly “swung at the female cop” and was taken into
custody, the official said.
“She is highly uncooperative, won’t speak to cops and wants
to make all sorts of phone calls but won’t say who she wants to call,” the
official said.
Ms. Biden is the daughter of Mr. Biden’s brother James Biden
Sr.
The vice president’s press office didn’t immediately return
calls for comment.
