When MPs checked her background, they learned Jensen was facing charges in Florida after authorities said she sneaked onto MacDill Air Force Base four times over a three-month period. So they called El Paso County (Colo.) sheriff’s deputies, who arrested her on outstanding warrants. Jensen was then shipped back to Tampa.

Jensen didn’t violate any rules by being on the base, according to spokeswoman Dani Johnson.

Jensen trespassed onto MacDill, home of U.S. Special Operations Command and U.S. Central Command, between Oct. 1 and Jan. 4, according to federal court records. She told base security that she twice scaled fences, one time using an overturned garbage can as a ladder.
