Woman who stole Ashley Biden's diary heads to prison sooner than expected after DUI charge

The Florida woman who stole a diary belonging to Ashley Biden, the president's daughter, has been arrested in Georgia on multiple charges related to an open container of marijuana found in her vehicle after she was pulled over by police for speeding. This comes the day before Aimee Harris, 42, was set to report to prison to serve a one-month sentence for the theft of the diary, as reported by Law and Crime. 

Harris now faces new charges that include driving with a suspended license, speeding, possession of marijuana, possession of an open container in a vehicle, and obstruction of a law enforcement officer, court documents show. 

She was arrested on July 8 in McIntosh County, Georgia, according to New York prosecutors, who said Harris was then transferred to the custody of US Bureau Prisons and began serving her prison sentence one day earlier. 

In 2022, Harris pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property in connection to the theft of Biden's diary and then selling it to Project Veritas. The other defendant, Robert Kurlander, 60, pleaded guilty to the same charges. 

According to prosecutors, Harris was aware that Ashley Biden was the owner of the journal. Harris testified during court proceedings that Kurlander planned to sell it to Donald Trump's reelection campaign in 2020. However, she and Kurlander decided to sell it to Project Veritas for $40,000 and split the proceeds 50-50. Although Project Veritas did not make the dairy's contents available on its website, information from it appeared elsewhere. 

Additionally, Harris was accused of removing private images and tax records that were discovered in a storage unit at Ashely Biden's short-term Delray Beach, Florida, home. Harris was sentenced in April to one month in prison followed by three months of home detention and three months of probation.
