Troopers tried to serve arrest warrants on Dorff, who had failed to appear in court on charges stemming from violations of a domestic-violence protective order, police said. He refused to let himself be arrested when officers showed up. Dorff was not armed with a gun or knife, but the confrontation escalated to the use of pepper spray, batons and Taser. Ultimately, Dorff picked up a piece of metal, and Sgt. Brian Wassman shot and killed him.
