Nat Berman, who attended Tulane with Biden, said she called him in Sept. 1999 to tell him she was coming over to his home. She called an hour later, he said, asking for him to bail her out of jail after she was arrested on possession of marijuana charges.

"She was freaking out. She was like, 'I'm in this cell,'" Berman told the paper. "She was not happy."

Snapshots of Ashley's life.

Berman, 30, said he paid a bail bondsman between $200 and $400 to bail her out, then drove her home.
