CHICAGO » A judge has ordered a psychiatric evaluation for a woman with a history of trying to sneak onto planes after she was arrested twice in nine days at Chicago’s two international airports.

Cook County Judge William Raines on Thursday also ordered 63-year-old Marilyn Hartman to stay away from airports.

Police say Hartman was arrested Sunday at Midway International Airport and charged with misdemeanor criminal trespassing after she loitered near a checkpoint. She pleaded guilty to the same charge after being arrested April 24 for lingering in a restricted area near a ticketing counter inside O’Hare airport’s international terminal. Court records show she was sentenced to a year of court supervision.

Hartman is being held on $7,500 bond.

Hartman has tried several times in recent years to board flights without tickets.

In February 2014, Hartman was sentenced to 18 months of probation in San Mateo County after being arrested for attempting to board three Hawaii-bound flights at San Francisco International Airport on three separate days.
