A woman was arrested for the second time in a week at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, days after she was accused of sneaking past security and boarding a Delta Air Lines flight without a ticket.
According to the Port of Seattle Police, the second arrest happened on Dec. 27 when someone called to report a suspicious woman near Checkpoint 2.
Officers say they recognized the woman because they’d arrested her on Christmas Eve .
When asked why she was back at the airport, she reportedly told police she was picking her sister up but “did not have a ticket and could not list a real airline for the flight her sister was on,” according to documents obtained by KIRO 7.
Officers tried to call a phone number that the woman provided for her sister, but it wasn’t a working number.
According to the documents, officers then showed the woman the security footage they had of her sneaking past the portion of security where TSA asks for a boarding pass and identification. She reportedly confirmed it was her, but that she was “already arrested for that.”
