Vice President Joe Biden's niece was arrested and accused of resisting arrest and other charges after a dispute with a roommate got heated and she allegedly took a swing at an NYPD officer.

Caroline Biden was allegedly arguing with a roommate in her Tribeca apartment Tuesday morning, and when police responded, she resisted arrest and tried to take a swing at the officer, according to police.

Biden is also charged with obstructing governmental administration and harassment.

She was given a desk appearance ticket and released Tuesday afternoon. Information about her attorney was not immediately available.

Just with Democrats, you can rule out Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Al Gore and many others. This sounds like a young woman with some real - but not extreme - problems. I hope she gets the help that she needs. With Republicans - one of the problem children of a President went on to become President.
