How they died

Deadly force

Months of escalating tension developed between Cass County prosecutors and two operators of a renegade rural compound, Grover "Tom" Crosslin and Rolland Rohm. Their "Rainbow Farm" was the site of nationally notable pro-marijuana festivals and activities. Defiant, then apparently self-destructive, Crosslin failed to show for a legal hearing and began to set fires on the property. Law enforcement involved state police and FBI. All this culminated in an armed standoff, a catastrophic fire and the fatal shooting of both suspects.
