Attempted stowaway agrees to mental exam after O'Hare arrest

A woman who has repeatedly tried to sneak aboard airplanes has agreed to a mental examination following her most recent arrest in Chicago.  Marilyn Hartman has tried several times to board planes without tickets.

Hartman was charged with criminal trespassing and violating her bond on previous charges. She was arrested July 4 while trying to get through security without a ticket at O'Hare International Airport. 

The incident occurred one day after her arrest at Midway International Airport, where she had a valid ticket but caused a disturbance on board the plane and was escorted off. 

She's due back in court in two weeks.
