Aditya Singh, 36, a California-based defendant, was charged with trespassing and stealing restricted areas of the airport. According to the prosecution, Shin had settled in O'Hare International Airport for three months after arriving at Chicago O'Hare International Airport on October 19, 2020 by plane from Los Angeles.



Defendant Shin was once called by an employee on October 26, 2020, but the airport manager accidentally picked up the lost airport ID badge, and by presenting that ID badge, he was able to take the place. It seems that he escaped. In addition, he said that he had eaten for three months with the food that the airport passengers were blessed with.

However, Shin was detained on January 16, 2021 when a United Airlines employee asked him to confirm his identity card and was reported to the police. 'I was afraid to go home because of the new coronavirus,' Shin said, explaining why he had been hiding at the airport for three months.

'The court finds these facts and circumstances extremely shocking,' said judge Susana Ortiz. 'The defendant was allegedly in a safe place at the airport using a fake ID badge, and the airport. We recognize that the actions of the accused were dangerous to the community, based on the need for absolute safety. '



The trial is scheduled to begin on January 27, 2021. Shin's bail is $ 1,000 (about 104,000 yen), and even if he is released on bail, he will be prohibited from entering the airport.

The Chicago Civil Aviation Bureau, which manages O'Hare International Airport, said, 'Nothing has a higher priority than airport safety and security maintained by a collaborative, multi-layered law enforcement network. The case is under investigation, but the defendant We have determined that did not pose a security risk to airports or travelers. We will continue to work with law enforcement agencies to conduct a thorough investigation. '
