CHICAGO (AP) — A woman with a history of sneaking aboard airplanes has been arrested again at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport.

Chicago police say 64-year-old Marilyn Hartman was arrested Wednesday at an airport bus shuttle center. She’s scheduled to appear Thursday in bond court.

Hartman has tried numerous times in recent years to board planes without a ticket, succeeding at least once by flying from San Jose, California, to Los Angeles in August 2014.

Hartman was arrested twice in two days last summer at O’Hare and Chicago’s Midway International Airport. She also has airport-related arrests in Arizona.

Hartman was released on probation to a Chicago nursing home in December, and ordered to avoid airports and Chicago’s Union Station.

Hartman is now charged with felony probation violation and misdemeanor criminal trespass.

  2. ‘Serial Stowaway’ Arrested Again For Trying To Sneak On Board Airplane

    Much like this story sneaking onto a political news site without a ticket.

  3. She’s a real Ada Quonset!

  4. It’s a sign of how disturbed she is that she actually wants to get on a plane. I fly only because it’s the only practical way to get to the places I want to go. But it’s a miserable experience, and never something I look forward to.

  5. I would love to have been the arresting officer so I could understanding her drive to do this, it has to be fascinating.
