Renee Michele Phillips, charged as an accessory after the fact of attempted murder in Roanoke Rapids Police officer John Taylor’s shooting, was served a fugitive warrant from Pennsylvania today.

Phillips’ $800,000 bond was increased by $50,000, according to Lieutenant Bobby Martin of the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office.

The warrant stems from Phillips allegedly skipping her court date in Pennsylvania and violating terms of probation, Martin said.

She will have a December 1 court date on that charge.

State Bureau of Investigation Agent Walter Brown also filed charges of possession of a stolen firearm and possession of a stolen vehicle against Phillips, 43, of Southampton, Pennsylvania.

Phillips and Michael Eugene Edgerton, who killed himself this last week, were  engaged and traveling together when Taylor was shot on Interstate 95 last Wednesday.

It was not clear where Edgerton, 38, and Phillps were going when officer Taylor stopped them for following too close on Interstate 95 at the 172 mile marker, Roanoke Rapids Police Chief Jeff Hinton.

Halifax County Sheriff Jeff Frazier said bloodhounds flushed the pair from the woods about 100 yards away from Halifax Academy where the stolen car they were in following the shooting was ditched.

After the dogs discovered them, a short-standoff ensued and the woman was taken into custody, according to Hinton. Edgerton was located in the woods dead and a .380 pistol recovered, said Frazier.

It is not clear whether the weapon Edgerton used to allegedly kill himself was the same weapon used to fire multiple shots at Taylor, who is recovering at Pitt Memorial Hospital in Greenville.

“He’s still showing improvement,” Captain Andy Jackson said today of Taylor. “He’s still in a lot of pain but he’s steadily improving.”
