VANDALIA, Mich. — A campground owner facing drug and weapons
charges was fatally shot by an FBI agent last night after
a four-day standoff, authorities said. Grover Crosslin, 47,
was shot and killed after he walked out of a building with
a rifle and pointed it at the agent, Cass County Sheriff Joseph
Underwood Jr. said in a news release. The FBI did not immediately
return calls for comment. Crosslin, owner of Rainbow Farm
in western Michigan, became agitated after authorities brought
a phone to him in an attempt to begin negotiations, Underwood
said. Crosslin promoted the use of marijuana at Rainbow Farm,
which High Times Magazine reportedly had dubbed one of the
best "stoner spots in the world." The situation began Friday
when deputies went to the campground after neighbors said
Crosslin was burning buildings on his property, which is the
target of civil-forfeiture proceedings. Crosslin's attorney,
Dori Leo, said her client also was upset because a child he
helped raise has been taken from the home he shares with a
friend.
