Svetlana Dali sure is stubborn.
Once again, an alleged Delta Air Lines passenger is making headlines — this time for trying to sneak into Canada, where she reportedly cut off her ankle monitor before boarding a Greyhound bus to the Great White North.
Daly, a 57-year-old Russian national, was detained in Paris late last month after she snuck aboard a Delta Air Lines flight at New York’s JFK International Airport without a boarding pass on November 26 and headed to Charles. De Gaulle Airport in Paris, and she appears to hide herself by spending long periods in the plane’s multiple bathrooms.
French National Police said at the time that she was arrested when authorities discovered that she did not have a valid visa to enter the country.
After two failed attempts to have her extradited to the United States – delayed after she “started screaming” and causing a scene on departing planes – she was finally returned to US soil on December 4 and arrested by the FBI.
Despite a December 6 court hearing that ordered her not to leave Philadelphia and fitted with an ankle monitor until her trial, Daly was undeterred.
The US Attorney’s Office for the Western District of New York confirmed that she was arrested in Buffalo, New York, on Monday.
