With neither a ticket nor a passport, Marilyn Hartman slipped into Chicago O’Hare International Airport last week, sneaked onto a British Airways flight
and traveled to London, where she was apprehended by customs officials, the Chicago Police Department said in a news release.
In 2014, she boarded a Southwest Airlines flight at the Mineta San Jose International Airport, in San Jose, Calif., without a ticket,
and was arrested when she landed at the Los Angeles International Airport, KNTV reported.
At a hearing on Saturday, Judge Stephanie K. Miller ordered Ms. Hartman released on her own recognizance on the condition
that she received psychiatric help, stayed away from O’Hare and British Airways and wore an ankle monitor until her case was concluded, The Chicago Tribune reported.
Simonton said that This shuttle requires a passport and plane ticket to board,
During a 2016 hearing in Chicago, prosecutors said she had been stopped by the police on airport
properties a dozen times in different parts of the country, The Chicago Sun-Times reported.
In 2016, Parle Roe-Taylor, the assistant public defender representing Ms. Hartman in Chicago, spoke about her client’s "mental health issues," saying
that jail was not the appropriate place to deal with those problems.
