ALBANY - An Upstate New York woman has been arrested and charged with trespassing at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey after police say she tailgated an authorized vehicle through a security gate and drove across runways.
Ciara Schultz, 31, of Balston Spa in Saratoga County abandoned her car and ran away Tuesday morning before she was arrested in the nearby town of Moonachie, according to police with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
The breach was the "result of a woman in an unauthorized vehicle tailgating an authorized vehicle through a security gate before the guard could stop the unauthorized vehicle," Port Authority police said.
"There were no planes on the runways at the time her vehicle crossed the airstrips," the statement said.
