64-Year Old Serial Stowaway Does It Again In Chicago
A woman with a notorious reputation of attempting to board planes without tickets was caught in the act again on Wednesday.
According to ABC News, 64-year-old Marilyn Hartman was arrested at a bus shuttle center at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. Hartman was ordered to stay away from the facility in the past after numerous attempts. Her ankle bracelet gave her away and alerted authorities. In the past, she succeeded at least thrice in traveling ticketless, though according to her admission, the number could be higher.
Hartman was arrested twice in 2015 within two consecutive days when she tried to board planes at O'Hare and Midway International Airports, Sun Times reports. The arrests came on the heels of a two-month jail term for similar offences.
Earlier this month, her confinement was relaxed and she was transferred to a less secure facility where outdoor visits were permitted, NBC reports. If a judge's warning during her transfer were to apply this time, the serial stowaway could face up to a year in prison for violating terms of her transfer.
She had spent around 145 days in prison last year and up on her release had reportedly said she would give up being a stowaway.
