Joe Biden's niece Caroline - pictured in 2013 - has escaped a jail sentence even though she pleaded guilty to stealing $110,810.04 in a credit card scam

Joe Biden's niece has dodged jail - again - after she stole $110,810 in a credit card scam.

Caroline Biden, 30, was offered a plea bargain at the Manhattan Supreme Court in New York and pleaded guilty to using a borrowed credit card to go on a lush shopping binge, according to the New York Post.

Had she been tried normally Biden would have spent up to a year in jail but she has rather been sentenced to two years probation, if she is able to pay back the money and behaves herself.

The young blonde's defense attorneys, one of whom is Ira London - one of New York's top-rated lawyers - has refused to comment on the reduced sentence, the Post reported.

Joe's unruly niece asked to borrow a credit card from a victim, who was not identified in court documents, to buy an item for $672.

But Biden strayed from her word. She opened an account at the Bigelow Pharmacy in New York and spent more than $100,000 between April 2015 and June 24 2016 buying the store's products.

On May 5, police arrested her and charged her with grand and petit larceny. On Friday she made her second court appearance, pleading guilty to both charges.

This isn't the first time Biden - who is the daughter of Joe Biden's brother James - has found herself in a legal mess.

In 2013, she was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. The most bizarre part of that debacle was when she covered herself in a white blanket while she was transported from the police station to the hospital

In 2013, she was arrested for harassment, resisting arrest and obstruction of justice after she got into a fight with a roommate over rent.

She also uttered to police while she was arrested: 'I shouldn’t be handcuffed! You don’t know who you’re doing this to!'

What appeared to be the most bizarre part of that debacle was when she covered herself in a white blanket while she was transported from the police station to the hospital. Police at the time did not provide a reason for the transfer.

Biden - who has been reportedly in and out of rehab for anger management and a drug addiction - also managed to escape jail at the time when the court ordered for her charges to be dropped if she behaved for six months.
