The woman known as the serial stowaway is pleading guilty in two felony cases. Marilyn Hartman was sentenced yesterday to 18-months in prison for a 2019 criminal trespass at O’Hare Airport and two years in prison for leaving her electronic monitoring host site to head for the airport last year. She did receive credit for her time in custody, which will essentially satisfy her sentence. Hartman has a history of sneaking past airport security and boarding planes illegally.
