Dorman, then 25, was shot in the face, leg and groin in Folcroft as he approached people suspected of smoking marijuana behind an apartment building. Island fled after the shooting, prompting a three-hour manhunt. The 34-year-old was later arrested at the same apartment complex.
Dorman has recovered after multiple surgeries and returned to police duty.
Island served about nine years in federal prison on a gun conviction before his release in 2013.
