A Missouri resident faces the same set of charges in a separate case also filed on Sept. 2, 2026.
48-year-old Marshall E. Phillipp of Florissant, Mo., faces one count each of possession of a controlled substance (a Class 4 felony) and driving while under the influence (a Class A misdemeanor).
Phillipp is accused of driving on North Main Street in Edwardsville while under the influence of any drug or combination of drugs which rendered him incapable of driving safely on June 21, 2026.
