Witnesses observed the man throwing something from his car which started a small fire. The object turned out to be a glass bottle filled with accelerant. A description of the dark vehicle the man was driving was sent out to law enforcement and to residents of the area and the manhunt was on. Tips were called in as the man was spotted in different locations while trying to escape from police. At one point he was shot at by a homeowner as he ran through his back yard. Authorities apprehended Brian Crowder a short time later.
