MAN, 47, SHOT DEAD IN STANDOFF WITH FBI

A campground owner facing drug and weapons charges was fatally shot
by an FBI agent Monday night after a four-day standoff, according to
Vandalia, Mich., authorities.

Grover T. 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 Monday night.

A judge had signed a warrant Monday charging Crosslin with attempted
destruction of an aircraft and using a firearm in a felony, FBI
Special Agent Dawn Clenney said.

She said only that Roland Rohm, who lived with Crosslin, remained
inside the residence Monday night, and FBI agents were negotiating
for his surrender.

Deputies believe Crosslin was upset about a bond revocation hearing
scheduled for Friday. It was set because police believed he was
violating the terms of his release on bond on previous drug and
weapon charges. A bench warrant was issued for his arrest when he
didn't show up.

Authorities arrested Crosslin and five others in May after a two-year
investigation into allegations of marijuana use at the 34-acre
campground, Underwood said.
