A serial stowaway who claims to have taken more than 30 flights without a ticket was arrested at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. Marilyn Hartman faces criminal trespass charges for sneaking away from A Safe Haven halfway house sometime after her electronic ankle monitor apparently malfunctioned on Tuesday.
She was spotted by the Transportation Security Administration at the airport, a source told CBS Chicago, and authorities were notified of her whereabouts. Hartman made it as far as Terminal 2 but did not enter any secure areas before she was apprehended. The sheriff's office says it will seek approval for a felony escape charge against the 69-year-old. She is already facing a felony charge from a previous stowaway attempt.Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
