Andrey was detained for riding a bicycle slightly behind a column of cyclists participating in a protest bike ride on August 7, 2020. According to investigators, he violated traffic rules: his bicycle was not equipped with a rear-view mirror or a horn. The traffic police demanded that he stop, but Andrey did not respond, drove around the police officer and continued driving, trying to escape. He was ultimately convicted of allegedly resisting a police officer.
On August 27, 2022, he was released, having fully served his sentence imposed by the court.
