CHICAGO, May 6 (UPI) -- A woman who has attempted a number of times to sneak onto airplanes -- and who has succeeded at least once -- was arrested twice for loitering around Chicago airports.

Marilyn Hartman, 63, was arrested April 24 for being in a restricted area at O'Hare International Airport. She was charged with misdemeanor trespassing.

She was arrested again Sunday at Chicago's Midway Airport and charged with trespassing and violating the conditions of her release.

This isn't the first time Hartman has been where she shouldn't at an airport.

Two weeks ago a judge in Nassau County, Fla., ruled she was unfit to stand trial for sneaking onto a flight from Minnesota to Jacksonville, Fla., and checking into a resort under a false name in February. Harman, who has a history of mental illness and has spent some time living in homeless shelters in Minneapolis, was released to a shelter in Florida on April 13.
