Marilyn Hartman, stowaway extraordinaire, arrested for 22nd time
Date: 2021-03-18 00:00:00

How is there not a movie about this woman??



69-year-old Marilyn Hartman was arrested at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport on Tuesday, just two weeks after a plea deal for a previously attempted stowaway was rejected.



Hartman granted CBS 2 Chicago's Brad Edwards her very first in-depth interview last October and the piece aired over the weekend.



From CBS 2 Chicago:





In those several phone calls and letters with Edwards, Ms. Hartman had a warmth about her, was contemplative. She wrote of the inequities, Jim Crow- like in jail.



She's currently out of jail on electronic monitoring and on a steady diet of counseling and daily meds.



Edwards noted: "So, you've had a hell of a life."



"Yeah, it's been. It has been," she answered.



Edwards asked, "Would you consider yourself fascinating?"



"Yes I would under the circumstances … and I downplay it, Brad, I don't. Yeah," she said.



Hartman never did an in-depth interview "… Until I was confident that I wouldn't take an illegal flight again," she said.

Oops.



Harmon is being held without bail and is expected to face felony escape charges.
