Criminal History
Andries has previous criminal convictions including one in 2010 for driving while intoxicated, for which he received one year probation, and another in 2020 for driving under the influence of alcohol, for which he received 30 days jail and two years unsupervised probation.
On February 25, 2022, Andries violated his conditions of release in this case when he was arrested for, inter alia, felony assault on a police officer. According to the police report, at approximately 11:37 pm on February 25, 2022, at Action Lounge & Billiards in Leonardtown, Maryland, Andries became intoxicated and reportedly pulled a female’s hair and made “patrons uncomfortable.” Andries was asked to leave the establishment. Andries became belligerent and made threats to staff who removed him from the premises. . Andries attempted to reenter the bar and was being held back by staff when police, who happened to be at the establishment for another incident, offered assistance to the staff in dealing with Andries.
Police attempted to calm Andries and explain that if the staff wanted him removed, he needed to leave. Andries refused to comply with the police directives and attempted to reenter the bar. Police informed Andries to either go home or be arrested. Andries stated, “nope” and then pushed one of the officers in the chest, whereupon he was placed in handcuffs. Andries refused to cooperate with police, sat down while handcuffed, and had to be dragged and carried to a police vehicle. Once at the police vehicle, Andries refused to sit properly and laid so that his upper body was in the vehicle seat, but his lower body remained outside the vehicle. Id. Additional officers had to be summoned assist in bringing Andries under control. An officer told Andries that if he did not comply and sit in the vehicle, he would be tased. Andries refused to sit in the vehicle, whereupon the officer tased his leg. Undeterred, Andries still refused to sit in the vehicle and was tased a second time, but still did not enter the police vehicle. Officers determined they needed to call the jail’s transport van to bring Andries to jail. While waiting for the van to arrive, Andries repeatedly kicked an officer and had to be restrained until the transport van arrived. He then refused to enter the van and had to be carried and placed inside by police. A search incident to lawful arrest found Andries was carrying a knife. According to court records, Andries was charged with felony assault in the second degree, misdemeanor disorderly conduct and misdemeanor resisting/interfering with arrest. In May 2022, Andries pled guilty to resisting arrest and was sentenced to 180 days jail, all suspended but 10 days, and two years unsupervised probation.
On October 17, 2022, Andries was again arrested in Maryland on a charge of assault in the second degree for punching the complainant in the face. In that case, Andries’s ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend claims Andries punched him in the face during a custody exchange of Andries’s child. See Exhibit B: court documents, October 17, 2022. The charges remain pending, and a trial is scheduled for January 2023.
