<p>Marilyn Hartman, the Chicago woman who’s made a name for herself as the “Serial Stowaway” by sneaking onto airplanes, was attacked at the Cook County Jail, sources said.</p><p>Hartman, 68, was attacked during an altercation about 5:45 p.m. Tuesday at the jail’s designated hospital area for females with mental health issues, a spokesperson for the Cook County sheriff’s office said.</p><p>A woman who was in the middle of a mental health episode jumped up and started hitting Hartman and another incarcerated person, the sheriff’s office said.

<p>A Cook County judge Monday ordered a mental fitness evaluation for Marilyn Hartman, the 68-year-old “Serial Stowaway” facing jail time for allegedly violating her probation by showing up at O’Hare Airport without a plane ticket.</p><p>Hartman <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2019/10/15/20915856/serial-stowaway-marilyn-hartman-ordered-held-without-bail-violating-probation" target="_blank" >has been jailed since </a>she was arrested last month for allegedly attempting to get past a Transportation Security Administration checkpoint at O’Hare — a violation of her probation for a 2018 conviction for sneaking aboard a flight from Chicago to London. </p><p>Before entering her guilty plea in last year’s case, Hartman spent months in a state mental health facility after being found unfit to stand trial. </p><p>At the request of Hartman’s lawyer, Judge Peggy Chiampas Monday ordered Hartman be evaluated for both fitness to stand trial and a possible insanity defense. </p><p>Hartman had been living at A Safe Haven, a residential mental health facility, after her release from the state mental institution. </p><p>It was not clear where Hartman was living at the time of her arrest in October, but Chiampas said she was concerned that Hartman might have moved out of A Safe Haven without notifying her probation officer. </p><p>In court, a probation officer read a report in which Hartman said that she wanted to move out of A Safe Haven, complaining that her roommates were substance abusers. She offered to pay for her own hotel room, the report said.</p><p>Chiampas said Hartman would remain at the jail pending her evaluation.</p><p>“She’s not staying at a hotel,” Chiampas said.</p><p>Over a nearly two-decade span, Hartman racked up numerous arrests for boarding airplanes without a ticket or trespassing at airports across the country. </p><p>Airport security officers carry a photograph of the silver-haired Hartman “at all times,” a prosecutor said at a hearing last month.</p><p></p><p></p>

</div><p>Chiampas congratulated Hartman on a glowing progress report from staff of A Safe Haven, the mental health facility where Hartman has been living since last summer. Chiampas recalled that she had served as a bond court judge at one of Hartman’s previous arrests for sneaking onto airport grounds years ago — and that Hartman had then defied Chiampas’ order to stay away from the airport.</p><p>“Those were different circumstances,” Chiampas said. “A Safe Haven has been your safe haven, and I am really proud of the progress you have made.”</p><p>Hartman was deemed unfit to stand trial and spent four months at a state mental institution in Elgin after a county psychologist said she suffered delusions that she was being persecuted and had “preoccupation with media attention.” Court officials said Hartman was responding well to treatment, and in July, Hartman was moved to a halfway-house style mental health center near the Leighton Criminal Courthouse.</p><p>“She stands here as a testament to her wanting to engage in treatment,” said her attorney, Assistant Public Defender Parle Roe-Taylor.</p><p>In the courtroom gallery before her hearing Tuesday, Hartman chatted cheerfully with her case worker and spectators. An electronic monitoring anklet peeking from the leg of her gray sweat pants, Hartman said she hoped to find an apartment in Chicago or nearby suburbs. Hartman had lost her spot in a senior housing facility in Grayslake after her arrest.</p><p>Before Chiampas formally approved the plea deal, Assistant State’s Attorney Kimellen Chamberlain ticked off eight other convictions Hartman had faced in five other states, all on minor charges related to Hartman appearing at airports or boarding flights.</p><p>Hartman’s plea deal bars her from O’Hare or Midway airports— unless she has a ticket for a flight. She could face up to three years in prison if she violates her probation.</p><p>As Hartman headed to the basement of the courthouse after the hearing to have two electronic monitoring devices removed from her ankles, her lawyer said she was optimistic that this would be Hartman’s last criminal case.</p><p>“I think we all hope that this has worked and that she’s in a good place,” Roe-Taylor said. “She is doing really well with all the things that are being required of her. I have no reason to think that she will return, but I also don’t have a crystal ball.</p><p>“We have some success stories. The criminal system is still is not a place to deal with mental health issues.”<br></p>

<div class="Figure-content"><figcaption class="Figure-caption"><p>In all, Marilyn Hartman has eight arrests now connected to trespassing at O’Hare and Midway airports and attempting to board flights, and dozens of other arrests at airports in California, Hawaii and Florida.</p></figcaption></div>
</figure>
<p>No one can be sure how many times Marilyn Hartman has managed to slip onto airplanes without a ticket; just keeping track of the times she has been caught is difficult. What can be done to stop her remains an open question.</p><p>The grandmotherly 66-year-old was jailed after she was arrested at O’Hare International Airport again on Sunday — a week after she was arrested at O’Hare after she successfully got on a British Airlines flight to Heathrow Airport without a ticket, boarding pass or passport.</p><p>Her visit to O’Hare on Sunday violated the conditions of her bond for the London jaunt, and so she remains in custody. At a hearing Wednesday, her court-appointed attorney said she intended to petition the court to grant Hartman bond, and the judge ordered Hartman to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.</p><p>“She’s having a difficult day, but it’s a difficult process,” said her lawyer, assistant public defender Parle Roe-Taylor. “Especially to be in (jail) custody, and there are very few options at this point.”</p><p>Hartman’s weekend visit to O’Hare came just days after she was released on recognizance bond following the London trip, and after Hartman was repeatedly warned by the judge that she was barred from setting foot on airport property. In all, she has eight arrests now connected to trespassing at O’Hare and Midway airports and attempting to board flights, dozens of other arrests at airports in California, Hawaii and Florida and other states.</p><p>Charged mostly with misdemeanors whenever she’s landed in court, and consistently judged sane despite a compulsion to slip onto jets that defies good sense, Hartman has baffled law enforcement officials just as consistently as she has airport security guards. She has seldom spent long in jail, and has walked away from mental health treatment.</p><p>Her last trip to Cook County Jail, booked in 2016 after she violated her probation for one airport-trespassing arrest by getting arrested on the grounds of O’Hare airport, was among longest time she has spent behind bars — about four months.</p><p>“Can you stay away from the airports?” Judge Donald Panarese asked her before granting her bond at a hearing two weeks ago.</p><p>“Yes — yes, Your Honor,” Hartman whispered.</p><p>“Jail’s not so fun?” Panarese asked.</p><p>Fun or not, jail might again be in Hartman’s future, though no one seems to think that is where she belongs.</p><p>“Jail is not the answer for this poor woman,” said Mark Ishaug, CEO of mental health services provider Thresholds, a Cook County Jail contractor.</p><p>“This is an incredibly unique case. This is absolutely not common for anyone to sneak onto airplanes, time and again … and the vast majority of people who get mental health treatment are able to avoid going back into the criminal justice system.”</p><p>Hartman, experts say, falls into a strange gap at the nexus of the criminal justice and the mental health systems. Despite the lengthy criminal history — a report by authorities in California in 2015 estimated Hartman had made at least 18 attempts to board planes without a ticket at that time— Hartman’s crimes don’t carry significant jail time, and her mental illness does not make her dangerous enough to be committed to a mental health facility.</p><p>Her first Chicago arrest came in February 2015, when she was arrested in Terminal 1 at O’Hare for trespassing. She then listed her address as the Pacific Garden Mission.</p><p>In subsequent Cook County arrests, Hartman has listed her address at shelters, or just as “homeless.” Hartman has said she lives off Social Security. A graduate of Chicago Vocational High School, Hartman claims to have no family, though a San Francisco magazine reporter found three apparently estranged brothers living in the Chicago suburbs.</p><p>A court-ordered evaluation in 2015 found she was sane, but suffered from “unspecified personality disorder with anti-social traits” and “adjustment disorder.” Mark Heyrman, a professor at University of Chicago Law School, said that if Hartman were found more profoundly mentally ill, and was deemed unable to help her defense or to understand the consequences of her inveterate plane-hopping, she could be found not guilty by reason of insanity, which would allow a judge to compel her to live at a mental health facility. But such a restrictive setting is probably not the way to handle Hartman, Heyrman said.</p><p>“What she probably needs is some talk therapy to get at the anxiety or whatever it is that’s driving this behavior,” he said. “But there really is nothing for that in the criminal justice system, and it’s very expensive and no one wants to pay for it. It’s a real problem with our mental health system.”</p><p>A judge might have more ability to confine Hartman if she were found to be a danger to herself or others, but she does not seem to want to harm herself, and she has never used force to sneak into a plane or airport, and is reportedly quite courteous when caught.</p><p>As to whether her constant incursions against the nation’s airport security forces is a threat to public safety in and of itself, experts tend to think not. Hartman has never made it past security checkpoints with contraband, and she has no intent to harm anyone once she’s boarded a plane.</p><p>“I don’t think she herself is a threat anymore than as a distraction for security staff who should be looking out for actual dangerous people,” said Jeff Price, author of “Practical Airport Security” and a professor at Metropolitan University in Denver.</p><p>“There is a larger threat that her ability to do this points out, that, if she can do it, so could someone else.”</p><p>When Hartman turned up at San Francisco Airport, repeatedly, in 2014, San Mateo District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe chose to handle Hartman as a mental health dilemma rather than a hardened criminal. In California, as in Cook County, intensive mental health services are available to defendants with “major” psychological disorders such as bi-polar disorder or schizophrenia, but not the more mild issues facing Hartman. Hartman, Wagstaffe said, is a “tweener.”</p><p>“I asked the judge, ‘Let’s see what we can do for this person. Otherwise, she’s just going to be an incredible annoyance to the people at the airport,’” Wagstaffe said.</p><p>Wagstaffe offered Hartman housing at a local mental health facility, but couldn’t force her to stay there as part of her probation. She walked away from the facility within days, and later surfaced in Oakland, trying to board a plane. Alameda County prosecutors asked Wagstaffe if he wanted her sent back to be prosecuted for violating her probation.</p><p>“I said, ‘She’s yours now. Enjoy it,’” Wagstaffe recalled.</p><p>“We can’t force people into doing something they don’t want to do. As a society, the way things are set up, there’s not much we can do for (Hartman) than what we did in San Mateo: wait for her to move on, and breathe a sigh of relief.”<br></p>
