Fritz fled on foot, but was spotted by an officer who told him to stop. Fritz pointed his weapon at the officer, took refuge in a nearby auto shop and stayed there for two hours before he finally surrendered.
Fritz said his use of Oxycontin for a snowboarding injury as a teenager had led to an addiction which then led to heroin use, followed by seven years of methadone treatment.
