Brandon Woodford, who was driving the car, was arrested on suspicion of being in possession of a stolen vehicle and booked into the Salt Lake County Jail, according to police. They said the passenger was released.

The woman who stole the car has not yet been identified and should be considered armed and dangerous, investigators said.

He said investigators believe Cronk's house was targeted at random.
