A woman was arrested after she allegedly trespassed on airport property on Tuesday at Mineta San Jose International Airport - the fifth security breach in less than a year at this airport.
Airport Public Information Officer Vicki Day said at about 5:15 p.m. a UPS airline employee spotted the woman at the southeast corner of the airport and alerted San Jose Airport police.
Police said the woman resisted arrest, but was eventually detained by officers. The woman did not have identification and refused to identify herself to officers, San Jose Police Officer Albert Morales said.
A preliminary investigation shows the woman possibly jumped the fence near the southwest corner of the airport near Gate 168.
"The suspect continued to walk eastbound across the airfield until she was contacted by San Jose Airport Police and taken into custody," Morales said in a statement.
Day said the security breach did not interrupt the airport's schedule.
No other details were immediately available.

Tuesday's security breach is the fifth in the past year.
Airport officials recently released video of a security breach at the airport that took place on Jan. 29.
The most notable security breach at the airport happened last April. A teenager scaled the fence and hid in the wheel well of a plane heading to Hawaii. The 16-year-old survived freezing temperatures during the five-hour flight. He was not charged.
