Adam Sarkisian, 26, was arguing with the woman when he suddenly grabbed her by the sweatshirt, yanked her into his 2008 Dodge Charger and sped off on Oak Street around 2:15 a.m. Sunday, June 25, Police Capt. Jeff Yannacone said.
An alert went out to area law enforcement agencies after the woman's mother dialed 911.
Hasbrouck Heights police checked behind the Hilton Hotel, just off Routes 17 and 80, because Sarkisian had been known to sleep in an old fire truck in the lot.
Paramus police eventually found the unemployed 5-foot-4-inch, 120-pound Sarkisian with the victim, also 26, at a relative's home in their town, the captain said.
She was unharmed, he said.
East Rutherford police took custody of Sarkisian, who remains held in the Bergen County Jail pending a first appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack.
Some may remember Sarkisian as a kid guitarist in the teen band Doomsday Diaries beginning when he was still in grade school over a decade ago.
