The Old Orchard Beach man charged withtheft of an automated teller machine in Scarborough last November is again in jail after his arrest in Biddeford last week.

Brian Andrews, 32, appeared in Cumberland County Superior Court in Portland Tuesday before his return to jail, where he is being held without bail for violating conditions of his release, according to jail officials.

According to Biddeford Deputy Police Chief JoAnne Fisk, Andrews was arrested on outstanding warrants issued in Cumberland County. Police logs show he was arrested at 9:30 a.m. on Feb. 23 on King Street.

Police said Andrews possessed a usable amount of marijuana, violating his conditions of release. When arrested, Fisk said Andrews tried to pose as his younger brother.

He was taken to York County Jail in Alfred and then transferred to Cumberland County Jail in Portland on Feb. 25, a York County Jail official said.

Cumberland County Jail officials confirmed Andrews has been held without bail since Feb. 25 because of the bail conditions violation.

Andrews was indicted in January by a Cumberland County grand jury on charges he used a stolen pickup truck to drag an ATM from the store late at night on Nov. 29 before leading Scarborough police on a high speed chase down Gorham and Black Point roads.

Andrews also is charged with ramming a police cruiser at the start of the chase. He was arrested after he crashed the truck near the Prouts Neck Yacht Club in Scarborough.

Court records show officers followed footprints across a beach and discovered Andrews hiding behind rocks and in the water.

Andrews has a list of convictions on burglary, forgery, theft and assault charges dating to 2000, according to the same court records.
