Infamous ‘serial stowaway’ arrested again at Chicago O’Hare
Even a global pandemic and electronic tagging cannot keep the notorious ‘serial stowaway’ out of trouble.
Marilyn Hartman was taken into custody at Chicago’s O’Hare International airport after leaving the residential facility where she has been staying while on the electronic monitoring program.
She was tracked by police to the airport and then detained when spotted at Terminal 1. She may be charged with felony escape.
Hartman has been arrested on multiple occasions at both Chicago Airports and others in California and Florida for attempting board flights without a ticket.
She has been successful in evading checks and flying without a ticket several times. Three years ago she managed to board a flight from O’Hare to London. She claimed recently in a TV interview she has taken dozens of flights without a ticket over the past 20 years.
