A woman who was charged as a stowaway after she was accused of boarding a New York-to-Paris flight last month without a ticket has been arrested in New York near the Canadian border after she cut off her ankle bracelet, authorities said Monday.
Svetlana Dali was arrested near Buffalo, a senior official briefed on the matter told NBC News. The official said the woman, who is alleged to have cut off her ankle monitor while she was with her boyfriend near Philadelphia, took a Greyhound bus to Buffalo.
Dali was charged with being a stowaway and arraigned this month in federal court after she was accused of sneaking onto a Delta flight from New York City to Paris last month.
The federal court had ordered her to have her whereabouts monitored by a GPS ankle bracelet.
A second official said Dali was stopped by Canadian authorities trying to cross the border and was in FBI custody. She cut off her ankle bracelet Sunday, the second official said.
