Serial stowaway is caught again
Just days after taking a flight to London without a ticket, notorious serial stowaway Marilyn Hartman has been nabbed again at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport.
Marilyn Hartman, 66, was this time spotted in a secure area of the airport reserved for private jets.
After being questioned by an airport employee she ran off and was eventually caught about two miles away.
She was charged early Sunday with criminal trespassing and violating bond conditions.
Those conditions were only set by a judge just days ago after her previous airport escapade.
In that incident she managed to evade ticket checks and boarded a British Airways flight to London.
She remains in custody with bail set at $50,000.
Her next court appearance has been set for Thursday.
On January 18 a Cook County judge banned her from entering both Chicago airports.
She has a long history of airport trespass and trying to board planes without a ticket around the country including airports in Florida, California, Minnesota, Arizona as well as incidents at both Chicago airports.
