Serial stowaway caught again
America’s most notorious airport stowaway is back in trouble again.
Marilyn Hartman, 67 was back at her favourite haunt, Chicago O’Hare International Airport.
She was charged with criminal trespass although this time she didn’t get quite as far as usual.
She allegedly moved TSA lane dividers in order to bypass security, Chicago police said, and was immediately taken into custody.
The serial stowaway has a long history of attempts to get on planes without a ticket, with a few being successful.
She is still on probation for sneaking onto a flight to London without a ticket at Chicago O’Hare.
Under the probation order, Hartman is forbidden from going to Chicago’s O’Hare or Midway airports without a ticket.
She has been arrested eight times by Chicago police in the past five years.
She has also successfully sneaked onto other flights at least twice.
Due to her latest probation violation she was ordered to be held without bail.
