At Rest

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.
This record exists so that Grover “Tom” Crosslin, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
