A woman who was arrested for stowing away on a flight from New York to Paris has been arrested again, authorities say.
Federal prosecutors said that Svetlana Dali, 57, from Russia, was detained in Buffalo, New York, on Monday.
Barbara Burns, spokesperson for the US attorney’s office for Western New York, said the woman was set to appear in federal court on Tuesday afternoon.
Further details on Dali’s arrest have not been released, but a senior official told Sky’s US partner network NBC News the woman allegedly cut off her ankle monitor while she was with her boyfriend.
The incident is said to have taken place near Philadelphia before the couple took a Greyhound bus to Buffalo. They allegedly were near the Canadian border when they were arrested.
The woman, who is a legal US resident, was first arrested after she evaded security at John F. Kennedy International Airport and flew to Paris as a stowaway on 26 November.
A Transportation Security Administration (TSA) spokesperson said at the time she managed to get aboard the plane without a ticket and had bypassed two identity checks.
French authorities met her at the gate and detained her after the Delta Airlines flight landed.
Dali was then flown back to the US, and was arraigned in federal court in Brooklyn on a charge of being a stowaway on 5 December.

US magistrate judge Joseph A. Marutollo agreed at a bail hearing the next day to release Dali with electronic monitoring.
It was also required that she live at the Philadelphia home of a man she met at church functions and submit to a curfew.
