Christopher Tucker, 34, of Topsham, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to a charge of failure to surrender for service of sentence in the U.S. District Court in Portland.
In September, Tucker was sentenced to spend 75 months in prison after he stole 20 firearms from a Brunswick home and pleaded guilty to possessing firearms as a previously convicted felon and possessing stolen firearms.
At his sentencing, a judge allowed Tucker to remain free with orders to report to the Bureau of Prisons at a later date.
Tucker failed to turn himself in, and the United States Marshals Service began tracking him down.
They ultimately apprehended him in Bath and took him back into custody.
The new charge could add up to ten years to his 75-month sentence, along with a $250,000 fine and three years of supervised release.
