An Ocean County grand jury has handed up a nine-count indictment charging a 21-year-old Lakewood sprinkler installer with the kidnapping and abduction of a 20-year-old Lakewood woman, abducted in May after leaving a Lakewood gym.
The indictment also charged the Lakewood man with trying to abduct a 48-year-old woman after breaking into her home in Old Bridge in Middlesex County in July.
Fritz was arrested in July after the victim in the Old Bridge case gave information about her assailant to police.
In the Lakewood case, the victim was abducted after working out at TrimGym Fitness Center on Madison Avenue, in the rear of ShopRite Plaza in Lakewood. She was driven around for about seven hours, and dropped off in the same place where she was abducted while investigators were still on the scene.
Fritz is being held in the Ocean County Jail in Toms River to await trial. His bail is set at $1,450,000.

Boruch Hashem. They should put this guy away for life.
“Put him away for life?” You know they won’t, sadly. They’ll worry more about how his RIGHTS have been violated.
